with quinoa / arugula / goat cheese

Active: 40 Total: 60

We're keeping things fresh with this meal that feels like a transition to fall. If the weather is still warm, you can make everything ahead and serve it room temperature or slightly chilled.
Smarts: If prepping right before cooking, be sure to get the beets roasting before continuing with your prep. You can add the sweet potatoes to the oven when the beets are about halfway finished.

Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F / 204C.
  2. Toss beans with vinegar (portion for bowls). Set aside.
  3. Toss sweet potatoes with oil. Spread out onto a sheet pan and roast until tender, 25 to 35 minutes. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, move the sweet potatoes to one side of the pan and add beans to the other side. Finish roasting the sweet potatoes and beans together.
  4. If quinoa was made ahead, reheat in the microwave (reserve half if doubled).
  5. Assemble bowls with a bed of quinoa and arugula. Top with roasted sweet potatoes and chickpeas, beets, goat cheese, and sunflower seeds. Drizzle yogurt sauce on top. (You can also just set out all of the ingredients and let everyone assemble their bowls at the table.) Enjoy!
