Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF (218ºC). Toss chopped carrots and sweet potato in a splash of olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper. Spread veggies across a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

In the meantime, place quinoa in a saucepan with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cover. Let simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic and olive oil. Season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place roasted carrot and sweet potato in a large mixing bowl. Add in the quinoa, dressing and arugula and toss well. Spoon into bowls and top with crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!
