2 ½ cups peeled and cubed sweet potato

2 Tbls olive oil

1 tsp kosher salt

1 ¼ cup uncooked tri-color quinoa (we like Bob’s Red Mill)

2 ½ cups of water (or low-sodium chicken broth – for cooking quinoa)

1/3 cup dried cherries or cranberries

¼ cup pepitas or sunflower seeds

¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 oz. feta cheese

2 Tbls GloryBee Artisan Fermented Honey

2 Tbls olive oil

1 ½ tsp GloryBee Raw Clover Blossom Honey

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add sweet potato and red onion on a lined baking sheet. Season with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss all to coat. Bake for 20-30 minutes until vegetables are cooked through.

2. Add quinoa and water (or chicken broth) in a small saucepan. Stir and bring mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes until done. Remove from heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork.

3. In a large bowl, add all ingredients. Gently toss and mix until combined. Enjoy!
