Ingredients: 2 small Kohlrabi, cut into matchsticks (about 1 lb.) 1 large Honeycrisp Apple, cored and cut into matchsticks (about ½ pound) ⅓ cup grated Feta Cheese (Optional, not shown) ¼ cup fresh Mint leaves, thinly sliced 3 tbsp Sunflower Seeds 2 tbsp.

Another delicious selection from Sara Forte’s Sprouted Kitchen: Bowl & Spoon, that beautifully melds some of our favorite fall produce into one colorful and flavorful dish! Roasted Vegetable + Quinoa Bowl Adapted from a recipe by Sara Forte Makes 6 servings. Ingredients: 1 medium Fennel Bulb, halved and sliced into wedges 1 small Onion, sliced into thin wedges 4 Carrots, sliced 1″ thick on a diagonal 2 small Delicata Squash (or other Squash of choice), seeded and sliced into thick half moons 1/2 lb. Brussels Sprouts, halved 3 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used a chile infused one for a bit of spice.) 3/4 tsp. Sea Salt fresh ground Pepper 2 tsp. Italian Herb Blend pinch of Cayenne 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed and drained 1 3/4 cup Vegetable Broth few big handfuls of Kale, stems removed and torn into small pieces 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 1/3 cup toasted Pine Nuts (Optional) 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, to taste (For vegan version, skip this ingredient.) Microgreens, for garnish Instructions: Preheat the oven to 400º. Prepare all vegetables and collect them on large baking sheet. Drizzle the Olive Oil, Salt, a few pinches of Pepper, Italian Seasoning, and Cayenne. Toss to coat well and spread in a single layer on baking sheet, dividing into two sheets if over-crowded. Bake in the upper third of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the heat up to 425º and cook another 20 minutes or until edges of vegetables are browned and crisp. While vegetables roast, cook the Quinoa. Put Quinoa and broth in pot. Bring to gentle boil, then down to simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with fork, add Kale, and cover with lid to allow Kale to wilt a little. Once Quinoa has cooled, drizzle in Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar, and hearty pinch of Salt and Pepper. Toss to coat. Transfer to serving bowl. Top with the roasted vegetables, Pine Nuts, Feta Cheese, and Microgreens. Serve warm or at room temperature. *Image courtesy of: http://www.sproutedkitchen.com/home/2014/10/22/roasted-vegetable-quinoa-bowl.html?rq=delicata%20squ.
