- 1 red onion chopped
- 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
- 2 teaspoon(s) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) curry powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) cumin

For the quinoa:

To serve:
- 6 teaspoon(s) tahini

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the potatoes and red onion on a large baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder, curry powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over the potatoes and toss to coat. Bake in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the quinoa. In a medium pot, bring the quinoa and water/vegetable broth to a boil, then cover and turn the heat to low. Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until all the water has evaporated. Fluffy the quinoa with a fork.
- Meanwhile, cook the kale. Heat a large skillet over medium/high heat, and the olive oil and when the olive oil is fragrant, add the garlic, kale and Brussels sprouts to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- To assemble the dish, divide the quinoa, sweet potatoes and kale mixture evenly into 6 bowls (or meal prep containers). Top with avocado, a drizzle of tahini and sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
Notes
Oil-free: to make oil-free omit toss the sweet potatoes with the spices and a splash of vegetable broth instead of oil. For the kale, omit the oil and do a water or broth sauté instead.
