Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 55 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup Quinoa Cooked; 1 cup Arugula Raw ((Spinach Or Kale Would Be Perfect Too)); ¼ Small Butternut Squash Sliced; 1 Beet Sliced; 1 Carrot Sliced; 1 Shallot Sliced; ½ cup Brussels Sprouts Halved; Herbs and Spices: Rosemary, Thyme, And Sea Salt; ¼ cup Tahini Paste; juice of ½-1 lemon (I like it lemony!); Pinch Of Salt; 1 tsp Honey; 2 tbs Water; 1-2 tbs Balsamic Vinegar

I have an obsession and it’s called tahini. I literally put it on everything. I love its creamy texture and smoky taste. I am convinced that it’s my perfect condiment. Tahini is simply a paste made from sesame seeds. When you blend it together with the right ingredients, it forms a gorgeous sauce that is to die for.

I have another obsession. When I hear that something is in a “bowl” I want to eat it. I know, it’s weird, but what would you rather eat: roasted vegetables and quinoa, or a roasted veggie quinoa BOWL. Yea.. thought so.

(I know there are other foodies out there that agree with me on this!)

I decided to pre-prepare this beauty bowl in the morning (anyone who follows my instagram saw me post a picture at 8:50 am of my roasting veggies!). Since mother nature decided to throw another temperature drop at us here in NYC, I knew that I would want something warm and filling for dinner. I find that planning ahead helps me big time when trying to make healthy choices. I simply roasted my veggies, put them in a Tupperware, and threw them in the fridge. They were super yummy when reheated, and proved to be everything that I wanted. Warm, filling, flavorful and delicious!

If making your own sauce and you don't have a blender or food processor, simply put ingredients in a jar and shake!
