Roasted alongside our sweet potato was an apple, which together really brings in a natural sweetness to this recipe. While they roast, we prepare on a stovetop bringing to a boil chicken stock with carrots and quinoa.
Quinoa is considered a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. Best of all if it is also gluten-free.
For our bariatric-friendly vegetarians, you can easily substitute chicken stock for vegetable stock to suit your needs.
