Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Cucumber Tomato Salad

Grain Blend

Black Garlic Hummus

Organic Greens and Avocado

Method

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Season and Roast

    In a bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  3. 3

    Baking

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Cucumber Tomato Salad

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces. Finely chop the red onion.

  2. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Grain Blend

  1. 6

    Rinse the Grains

    Rinse the quinoa and brown rice under cold water to remove any impurities.

  2. 7

    Cook the Grains

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, brown rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until grains are tender and water is absorbed.

  3. 8

    Fluff the Grains

    Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Black Garlic Hummus

  1. 9

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, black garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, water, and salt.

    Process until Smooth

    Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
