Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients.
  2. On a baking sheet, toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, adobo sauce, maple syrup, and half a teaspoon of salt. Spread in a single layer.
  3. On a separate baking sheet, combine butternut squash with the remaining olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and another half teaspoon of salt. Arrange in a single layer.
  4. Roast vegetables for approximately 25 minutes, tossing halfway through until tender and caramelized.
  5. In a saucepan, combine quinoa with vegetable broth. Boil over medium-high heat, then reduce and simmer for about 15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy. Stir in kale until wilted.
  6. Whisk together honey-Dijon dressing ingredients until smooth.
  7. Assemble bowls with quinoa and kale at the base, topped with roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash. Drizzle with dressing and add avocado if desired.
