Always rinse quinoa well before cooking, it has a natural coating that tastes bitter and soapy if not rinsed off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Date syrup (silan)<\/strong> \u2013 adds sweetness to the dressing that complements the roasted vegetables. Maple syrup works as a substitute. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chickpeas<\/strong> \u2013 not part of the original recipe, but a great way to add protein and turn this into a full meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"907\"

similar sizes (sweet potato slightly larger, carrot slightly smaller) so they roast at the same rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make the dressing in a jar with a lid, add everything and shake, it&#8217;s the easiest way to get it fully combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the quinoa pot sit covered for at least 5 minutes after cooking, off the heat, this helps it finish steaming evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add cooked chickpeas for a protein-packed full meal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great for meal prep, tastes even better after a day or two<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve as a side with grilled tofu or a protein of your choice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img
