Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quinoa Sweet Potato Mushroom Bowl.
Step 1
To start your delicious quinoa and vegetable dish, grab a saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 2
Toss in the quinoa and toast it for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until it releases a lovely, nutty aroma.
Step 3
Next, pour in some water along with a pinch of salt, and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for around 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
Step 5
While the quinoa is cooking, take a large skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add in the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing them together until the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add the sliced mushrooms, diced sweet potato, and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Step 8
Season everything with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 9
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 10
This will allow the sweet potato to become tender and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 11
If you notice the vegetables starting to stick, don’t hesitate to add a splash of water to keep them from burning.
Step 12
Once both the quinoa and the vibrant vegetable mixture are ready, it’s time to serve! Spoon the colorful vegetable medley over a generous bed of quinoa and finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped toasted pecans for that perfect crunch.
Step 13
Enjoy this wholesome dish that’s not only nourishing but also bursting with flavor!.
