How to Make Sweet Potatoes and Kale with Quinoa

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups water and quinoa and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until water is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, 5 to 6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add the kale, broth, soy sauce, ginger, salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, tossing often, until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the vegetables over the quinoa.
