Ingredients
Quinoa Bowl:
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 large sweet potatoes approximately 1 lb., peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. organic coconut oil melted
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3 Tbsp. sunflower seeds
  • 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
Brazil Nut 'Parm Cheese':
  • 1/2 cup raw Brazil nuts
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
Instructions
  1. Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Remove from heat, drain in a strainer and rinse.
  2. Meanwhile, cook sweet potatoes in boiling salted water to cover until tender, about 15 minutes; remove from heat and drain well.
  3. Meanwhile, make the 'Parm Cheese' in a food processor and process for about 3 minutes or until finely ground but be careful not to process too much or you will make nut butter! Remove from the food processor and transfer to a small bowl. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, sweet potatoes, balsamic vinegar, coconut oil, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt; gently toss to coat. Sprinkle the 'Parm Cheese' on top and serve warm.
