Grain bowls—part salad, part hearty vegetables, part filling grains—are some of my favorite fall meals. They can be eaten warm or cold and are great for easy meal prep or packable lunches. Cover it in miso vinaigrette and you have a truly mouthwatering meal that can be topped with any protein of your choice, from grilled salmon to crispy tofu to a jammy egg. You can’t get better than this.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry quinoa
- 3 sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane
- 4 portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2" pieces
- 3-4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1/4" pieces
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 package Bowery Farming Baby Kale, chopped
- 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
For the dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced (about 1/4-1/3 cup)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup white miso paste
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, grated with a microplane
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Bring two cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and cook until all of the broth is absorbed and the quinoa is tender.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes and place in a large bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and air fry at 350°F for 18 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauté pan and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook until tender. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and add another tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the broccoli to the pan and season with salt and garlic powder. Cook until the broccoli is fork tender.
- In a large bowl, combine equal parts of the quinoa, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, red bell pepper, scallions, toasted pumpkin seeds, and broccoli.
- Roughly chop the baby kale and fold into the mixture.
- Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until emulsified and pour over the salad. Toss to coat evenly.
- Enjoy with your favorite protein or on its own.
