Quinoa with Roasted Sweet Potato and Mushrooms
Ingredients List
-
⅓ cup quinoa
-
1 cup water
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 small sweet onion, chopped
-
1 cup crimini mushrooms, sliced
-
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
¼ cup chopped, toasted pecans
Instructions
-
Toast the quinoa in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it releases a nutty aroma. Add water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is cooked through, approximately 20 minutes.
-
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, cooking until the onion softens and becomes translucent, around 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, sweet potato, and cayenne pepper, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on medium-low for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if needed to prevent burning. Serve the vegetable mixture over the cooked quinoa and top with chopped pecans.
