1 Tbsp. smoked paprika, divided
sea salt + pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced

Directions

1

{"0":"Preheat the oven to 425'.","2":"Rinse and cook the brown rice according to instructions. This takes the longest, so start the rice first.","4":"Wash and dice the sweet potatoes into 1'' cubes. Pile them on a large, rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil, sprinkle with 1\/2 Tbsp. of the smoked paprika and a few pinches of sea salt. Toss everything together with your hands to coat and spread them all out in a single layer. Sprinkle a few grinds of pepper.","6":"Roast on the middle rack for 23-25 minutes until the edges are browned and crisp.","8":"In a pot, add a drizzle of olive oil and saute the diced onion until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the quinoa, a pinch of sea salt, 1 cup water or broth of choice and bring it to a boil. Turn it down to a simmer, cover and cook for about 15-17 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat, fluff with a fork and cover it for another few minutes to finish.","10":"When both the rice and quinoa are cooked, put them both in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the remaining Tbsp. of olive oil, remaining 1\/2 Tbsp. smoked paprika, red wine vinegar, chili flakes if using and toss everything together to mix. Taste for salt and pepper. Top it with the cubes of sweet potatoes and a ton of fresh chives and serve.","12":"*It may not all be piping on at the point of serving and that is ok. I found it tasted best just a tad warmer than room temp."}
