Ingredients


4 medium potato Sweet potato (peeled and cubed)
3 tbsp Avocado oil (divided)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
2 cup Cranberries, frozen (or fresh)
1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
2 cup Water
1 1/2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Maple syrup
1/2 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 400oF (204oC).

2. In a glass or foil-lined baking dish, toss the sweet potato with 1/3 of the avocado oil, and salt. Roast for 30 minutes, adding the cranberries midway.

3. Combine the quinoa and water in a saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Let simmer for 13 to 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove the lid, turn off the heat, and fluff with a fork.

4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, and maple syrup. Add the roasted sweet potato, cranberries, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds. Gently toss until well combined. Enjoy!
