This Spiralized Sweet Potato Quinoa Bake is quick and easy to make. There isn’t much cutting or chopping involved. Just spiralize and combine everything! It is good for when you want a hot lunch and it has a good spicy kick to it!
Start by peeling the sweet potatoes.
Then cut the ends off so they are flat.
Next slice them halfway through, longways. DO NOT cut all the way through! This step will give you smaller noodles, and keep you from having to trim them at the end.
Now you are ready to spiralize!
Combine all of the ingredients in one bowl.
I like to use these two cup glass ramekins that are oven safe. I spread them out on a baking sheet and spray with coconut oil. Fill them well. If there are remaining juices, pour them evenly over the containers. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 6o minutes at 350 degrees. To be sure that it is done, make sure the quinoa is soft.
Lastly, make the yogurt dressing by combining yogurt, sriracha, and chipotle powder.
Top your baked mixture with the yogurt dressing and some sliced avocado.
