Roast Vegetables
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts, sweet potato and beets with canola oil and distribute evenly. Tip: Keep beets separated to one side of the pan as they will leach out colour.
- Roast vegetables for 30 minutes or until tender.
- Set aside and allow to completely cool.
Cooking Amaranth
- Bring ¾ cup water (175 mL) to a boil in a pot. Add ¼ cup amaranth (60 mL). Cover, reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed, about 10-20 minutes. Makes about 1/2 cup (125 mL).
- Measure out ¼ cooked amaranth and set aside. Store the rest in an air-tight container and keep in fridge for up to 3 days. Add to salads throughout the week.
Dressing
- In a glass jar or small bowl, combine canola oil, lemon juice and Dijon mustard, and mix together until well combined.
- Add in crème fraiche and garlic, mixing until well combined.
- Gently add in mixed herbs and fold into the rest of the mixture.
Marinate Kale
- In a large bowl, marinate kale with green goddess dressing and set aside.
Pan-Toasted Nuts
- in a small frying pan, roast almonds and cashews over medium-high heat until lightly fragrant and lightly browned.
Assembly
- Add in the remaining ingredients with kale and toss together.
- Divide ingredients equally among four bowls and serve immediately.
Green Goddess Power Bowl
This colourful and hearty vegetable bowl boasts a cornucopia of flavour and nutrients. The figs provide a sweet touch while the pan-toasted cashews and almonds give this green bowl lots of crunch. For extra colour, try cooking the amaranth in beet juice. Recipe provided by Chef Alexandra Feswick.
