Preparation
In a large bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, carrots, spices, and oil. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the vegetables start to brown (stir occasionally).
Drizzle the vegetables with maple syrup and mix to coat well. Continue cooking for 10 to 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
In a saucepan, caramelize slowly the onions in butter for 15 to 20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and salt.
Thoroughly rinse the quinoa. Place it in a saucepan, add water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
Cut the feta into cubes, slice the beets, open the can of chickpeas and rinse them.
Rinse and dry the Kale or spinach leaves.
Assemble your bowl.
Tips
Use an AirFryer for the vegetables if you have one.
