Chef's tip

To save time, prepare the quinoa and roasted vegetables ahead of time. Vary the vegetables with the season for different flavors.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Quinoa, sweet potatoes, cooked chickpeas: up to 3 months in freezer bags. Broccoli is acceptable.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Dressing on the side.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

All the components can be prepared the day before. Quick assembly when serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Microwave (2-3 min at medium power) or skillet. Oven for the vegetables (10-15 min at 160°C).

Variations

Add the thinly sliced red onion and fresh arugula for crunch.
Serve as is or toss lightly before eating.
Adjust the dressing with salt and pepper to your taste.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting to rinse the quinoa: rinse it under cold water before cooking.
Adding the chickpeas too early: add them halfway through roasting to warm them through.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cook the quinoa for the power bowl?

Rinse the quinoa under cold water, bring it to a boil with the water, then reduce the heat, cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.

How do you roast the vegetables?

Spread the cubed sweet potatoes and the broccoli on a baking sheet, drizzle with half of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for 25 to 30 minutes at 200 °C, stirring halfway through.

When should you add the chickpeas?

Add the cooked, drained chickpeas halfway through roasting: they warm up and turn slightly crispy, which gives contrast to the quinoa and the tender vegetables.

How do you make the dressing?

In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard and the rest of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the assembled bowl just before eating.
