Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 4 cups of butternut squash, peeled and cut into ¾ inch cubes
- Celtic sea salt and pepper
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets (4 cups)
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 2 cups cooked quinoa – optional
Garlic Turmeric Hemp Sauce
- 1/3 cup hemp seeds
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 small cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons sweet white miso
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup water (you may want less or more, so don’t add it in all at once)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Toss the butternut squash with the 1 tablespoon of oil, salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Put into the oven to roast.
- Roast for 15 minutes. The squash should be starting to get tender. Turn with a spatula.
- In a bowl, toss the broccoli florets with a little oil and add them to the baking sheet with the squash to roast.
- Continue roasting for another 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the broccoli is just barely tender and everything is nice and browned.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil, in a pan on the stove. Add kale and sauté quickly. You just want to soften it a bit, but not overcook it. Just cook it a minute or two to cook it down.
Garlic Turmeric Hemp Sauce
- Put all the ingredients along with ¼ cup water into to a high speed blender and process. Add enough water to make it smooth and creamy.
Assemble Your Bowls
- Start with a small bed of quinoa (if using), or just the kale, then add the butternut squash and broccoli and drizzle the Garlic Turmeric Cream over top.
