Sweet Potato Curry Quinoa

It's been a rainy, chilly day in Nashville so I wanted to have my first taste of Fall for dinner tonight. This quinoa salad is delicious, and so cheap! All of the ingredients are already in the pantry, except for the sweet potato and onion, so this is a great recipe for when the fridge is low.


Sweet Potato Curry Quinoa
Serves 2.

-1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
-1 medium sized sweet potato, cut into inch cubes
-1/4 red onion, chopped
-1/2 cup parmesan
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-1 teaspoon curry powder
-1/2 teaspoon cumin
-Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook quinoa according to package- but add curry powder and cumin to the water.
2. Toss sweet potato & onion in olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes.
3. Mix quinoa, sweet potato & onions and olive oil. Fold in parmesan cheese.

So simple, so cheap! Enjoy!
