Instructions
For the Roasted Veggies:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the chunks of sweet potato, mushrooms, zucchini, and tomatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
For the Quinoa:

Tahini-Cashew Sauce
- Place all the ingredients for the Tahini Cashew Dressing in the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you want a thinner dressing, add more cashew milk until you have the desired consistency.
Assembling the Bowls:
- Add the cooked quinoa to the bowls and top with the roasted veggies. Top with roasted cashews, pickled onions, and shredded nori. Drizzle with Tahini Cashew Dressing.
Notes
- Since it takes longer for larger chunks of sweet potatoes to roast, cut the sweet potatoes smaller than the other vegetables so they all can roast for the same amount of time.
