Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the beet, wrap it in aluminum foil to create a pouch, place on a baking sheet, and roast for about 45 minutes until tender when pierced with a toothpick or fork. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
-
Step 2.
While the beet roasts, in a medium bowl, combine 2 cups stemmed and chopped kale with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Massage the kale with your hands for about 2 minutes until it becomes tender and shiny.
-
Step 3.
Once the beet is cool, transfer it to a blender. Add ¼ cup water, 2 tablespoons tahini, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
-
Step 4.
Assemble each bowl with half of the cooked quinoa, cooked chickpeas, massaged kale, and sliced avocado. Garnish each bowl with a lemon wedge and serve with the beet-tahini dressing.
