Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil, add the quinoa, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy.
Combine in a large bowl the roasted sweet potatoes, cooked quinoa, diced red bell pepper, and avocado.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, toss gently, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature.
