Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the delicata squash slices and halved brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon avocado oil, a pinch of sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper until evenly coated.
-
Step 2.
Arrange the seasoned squash and brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until slightly browned and tender.

Step 3.
While the vegetables roast, in a medium bowl, combine the torn kale and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands for about 2 minutes until it becomes tender and shiny.

Step 4.
Assemble each bowl with half of the massaged kale, 1 cup cooked quinoa (divided), half of the roasted vegetables, ¼ cup pomegranate seeds, and 1 tablespoon minced fresh mint. Serve with ¼ cup Cashew Cheese Dressing per bowl.
