  1. Soak cashews up to 24 hours before for added creaminess (I soaked mine for 20 min, because LB)
  2. Preheat oven to 425.  Cut sweet potatoes into 2×2” pieces.  Use oil (I prefer coconut oil) to to coat baking sheet.  Sprinkle salt & pepper on potatoes & bake for 20 min.
  3. Rinse 1 cup quinoa & add to pot with 2 cups of water.  Once the pot reaches a boil, cover with lid & reduce to low heat.  Set timer on quinoa for 15-20 min.
  4. Rinse chickpeas & put in bowl.  Sprinkle desired seasoning on chickpeas & mix.   Add chickpeas to baking pan covered in tinfoil.  When there is 10 minutes left on oven timer, remove from oven & flip potatoes and add chickpeas to oven. 
  5. De-stem kale & broccolini. Coat broccolini & kale in oil & lemon juice.  Add to a large saucepan with half a cup of water on high-heat.  Cover & heat for 5 minutes.  Remove broccolini after about 3 minutes.
  6. Mix your tahini sauce by combining water, nutritional yeast, cashews, olive oil tahini, lemon juice, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder & salt.  Add to a sauce pan on medium-high & cook until liquid thickens up & starts to boil.
  7. Put kale in bowl, top with quinoa, sweet potatoes, chickpeas & broccolini. Pour sauce on top.
