Instructions
Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven or air fryer. Toss sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or air-fry at 180°C for about 15–18 minutes or until tender and golden, flipping halfway through.
Quinoa: Cook quinoa according to package instructions (usually simmered in water for 15–20 minutes), then fluff with a fork and set aside.
Dressing: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, fresh cilantro, garlic (if using), honey or maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Blend or whisk until smooth. Add water to thin if needed and refrigerate briefly.
Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the grilled sweet potato, cooked quinoa, diced avocado, and mixed vegetables. Top with red onion and chopped cilantro.
Finish: Drizzle with the chilled Zesty Cilantro Lime Yogurt Dressing and serve immediately.
Storage Tips
Refrigeration: Store the sweet potato, quinoa, and veggies in one airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
Keep the yogurt dressing in a separate small airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2–3 days.
Freezing: Do not freeze avocado or the yogurt dressing.
You can freeze cooked quinoa and sweet potato for up to 1 month in freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight and reheat before serving.
Reheating: Reheat quinoa and sweet potato in a microwave or pan with a splash of water or olive oil.
Serve with fresh avocado, veggies, and cold dressing after reheating.
