How to Make Quinoa Stuffing
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the cubed sweet potatoes on the prepared sheet for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway.
  3. Cook the rinsed quinoa in 2 cups vegetable broth over medium heat for 15 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add kale and sage.
  5. Combine the quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and sautéed veggie mix in a large bowl and toss gently.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust to taste.
  7. Serve warm as a side or main, garnished with toasted nuts if desired.

Notes

Rinse quinoa thoroughly to remove bitterness. Roast sweet potatoes evenly for best texture. Use fresh herbs for optimal flavor.
