Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If using grilled chicken, cook it according to your preferred method (grilling, baking, or sautéing) until fully cooked. If using chickpeas or tofu, you can sauté them in the skillet until heated through and slightly crispy.
In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and your choice of protein.
Top each bowl with sliced avocado, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs, if desired.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy your Harvest Grain Bowl warm or at room temperature!
