Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes:

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture.

        - Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

          - Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, turning them halfway through cooking for even browning. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

            Prepare the Apple Slaw:

              - In a large bowl, mix together the finely shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced apples, and red onion. If you’re using cilantro, add it to the bowl now for a fresh flavor boost.

                Make the Dressing:

                  - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Continue whisking until the dressing is smooth and creamy.

                    Assemble the Bowls:

                      - If you choose to include quinoa, start by placing a scoop of cooked quinoa at the bottom of each serving bowl.

                        - Next, generously top the quinoa with the vibrant apple slaw mixture followed by a portion of the warm roasted sweet potatoes.

                          - Drizzle the prepared dressing over the top, adding a sprinkle of sunflower seeds for that delightful crunch.

                            - Finish each bowl with a few slices of creamy avocado for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

                              Serve and Enjoy:

                                - Serve the bowls immediately while the sweet potatoes are warm or enjoy them as a meal prep option by storing the components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days for convenient meals throughout the week.
