Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 22–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are golden and a fork slides in without resistance.

While the sweet potato roasts, combine the rinsed quinoa, 2 cups water, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, until the water is fully absorbed and the quinoa tails have unfurled. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
