I do a yummy recipe with roasted sweet potatoes, roasted zucchini, greens (romaine lettuce or spinache), quinoa, string beans, and a pesto dressing. (Vegetables can be subbed for your favorites....)

1 large sweet potato, cubed
2 zucchini, cubed
Lay sweet potato and zucchini on separate baking sheets. Drizzle well with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast at 450 – zucchini for 15 minutes and sweet potato for 30 minutes – both should be soft. (I just put in the oven with whatever else I'm baking at whatever temperature till soft).
16 oz baby spinach (or romaine. And I don't measure)
¾ cup quinoa, cooked according to package directions (I cook with water and salt in my rice cooker)
½ red onion, finely diced (I sometimes leave out)
¼ lb. green beans, lightly steamed (can be done in oven) and chopped
½ cup grape tomatoes
3 Tbsp. sunflower seeds (I leave out)

Dressing:
1 tbsp mustard
1 tsp honey
½ cup olive oil
½ cup fresh basil, chopped (3-4 cubes frozen)
1 clove garlic
1 tsp salt (might need to omit if using frozen basil as it comes salted. Use to taste)
