Ingredients

for two large bowls:
  • 2/3 cup freekeh or other grain
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts halved
  • 1 small delicata or acorn squash about 3/4 lb
  • 1 TBS oil
  • 1 cup chopped kale massaged in oil
  • 1 small honeycrisp apple thinly sliced
  • 10 grape tomatoes
for the dressing:
  • 1/3 cup Tahini
  • 2 TBS maple syrup
  • 1 TBS apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • a few dashes of all spice
  • a few dashes cayenne pepper
  • 3-4 TBS water to thin
  • additional toppings to consider: feta goat cheese, avocado, seeds, etc.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the freekeh: place 1/2 cup freekeh and 1½ cups of water in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, until water has evaporated.
  2. Roast the veggies: Slice squash into rings and scoop seeds. Place squash and brussels sprouts on greased pan and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Roast veggies at 375F for about 25-30 minutes.
  3. Make the dressing: whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Or use small blender. Set aside while rest of ingredients are cooking.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Once all of your ingredients are ready, divide cooked freekeh (about 1/3 cup), roasted veggies, apple slices, tomatoes, and massged kale into 2 medium bowls. Top with tahini dressing, and enjoy!
