Roasted Sweet Potato, Quinoa, and Avocado

When I arrived at work this morning, an avocado had magically appeared on my desk. Actually it was a gift from Sandra at work who had bought a bunch and they all ripened at the same time! Not wanting to waste a delicious avocado, Tiffany made us roasted sweet potato, quinoa and avocado for dinner. It's super cheep and easy.

First just peel and chop a few sweet potatoes, roll in olive oil, sprinkle with some herbs, put on a cookie sheet and roast in the oven for about an hour. They should be tender with a crunchy caramelly texture on the edges. Sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin C, fiber and iron.

Prepare quinoa just like you would make rice. We use a rice cooker, makes rice or quinoa super easy. It's a perfect protein and gluten-free.

Avocados contain 25 essential nutrients. We like them on the side, just cut one in half longways, remove the pit, cut it into slices and scoop the slices out with a spoon. Thanks Sandra!
