Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
1 small red onion, diced
1/4 cup + 3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp kosher salt
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tsp fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 large Honeycrisp apple, cut into 1/2" pieces
4 oz pepitas, roasted

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F. Place the cut sweet potatoes, parsnips and onion in a large bowl. Toss with 3 tbsp of the olive oil and 1 tsp of the salt. Spread evenly onto a large cookie sheet. Roast for 15 min, then toss the vegetables, and roast for an additional 15 min or until vegetables start to brown and are tender. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the quinoa.
Bring 2 cups of water and 1/2 tsp of salt to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk the rinsed quinoa into the boiling water, add cinnamon, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 min.
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard and 1/2 tsp salt in a jar. Shake to emulsify.
Toss the vegetables, quinoa, thyme, sage, rosemary, apples, and dressing together in a large bowl. Add pepitas just before serving warm or at room temperature.
