Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls!

Vegan | 05.18.17

Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls

You guys, turmeric has my HEART these days! I keep finding myself putting it in everything, especially in quinoa. It’s so good for you, and it tastes amazing! Combine that turmeric quinoa with fresh kale, turmeric roasted potatoes, paprika roasted chickpeas, and a delicious avocado for the most epic Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls!

If you’ve never tried turmeric, this is the kind of turmeric that I personally use and love. It has a warm and peppery type of flavor and is also bright yellow (hellllloooo, natural food dye!). I was actually a little concerned after using this in my brand new bowls that I had permanently stained them, because it looked like I had taken a highlighter and marked all over them! No worries, though, it totally washes away 😉 Unless it gets on your clothes in which case……tye dye?? Just being positive over here, guys.

Here’s how to make these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls in 30 minutes or less!

No but for real, turmeric is legit, y’all. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory (and a powerful one, might I add) that also protects against a ton of diseases (6 Benefits Of Turmeric listed here) and is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber! Heck-to-the-yes. I’ll take that!

Not to mention, it makes these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls taste heavenly! Savory, creamy, wholesome, crunchy, warm, and spicy, to be exact. And my description is not even doing these bowls justice!

This recipe makes 4 delicious bowls. If you don’t have 4 people to feed, they’re great for lunch leftovers!

A few notes about how these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls came to be:

  • In the recipe below I said to use 1 Tbsp of coconut oil, but I actually used this Coconut Oil Spray and lightly coated the potatoes before I roasted them. I recommend going this route because it’ll coat them evenly, but melting and drizzling coconut oil works great too! 😉
  • Feel free to add more turmeric if you’re feelin’ it!
  • And on that note, be sure to add sea salt/pepper to your desired taste to the quinoa and roasted potatoes!
  • If you’re looking for an easy approach to preparing quinoa, check out our post How To Cook Quinoa Perfectly Every Time.

    Hello,

    thanks,

    Hi Christine.
    I am new to your site and new to using Turmeric. I understand it can be spicy and I have a sensitive stomach that can’t handle hot,spicy foods as well as vinegar. I want use to use it for it’s inflammatory benefits. Do you have any suggestions? This recipe looks really good.

    I had only red quinoa (what an interesting color with the turmeric). I used smoked paprika for the beans. I wanted something I could freeze so I roasted cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder and crushed red pepper instead of the kale. What a big yum-o. And I used sweet potatoes instead of regular. Great flavor combo.

    Hi lovely

    I absolutely love recipe! Thanks a lot. I know what I’m having for lunch today 🙂

    (My only concern . There is plenty information, all over the internet, that eating raw kale, even in small quantities, can inhibit the uptake of iodine by the thyroid gland.)

    Great recipe! filling and tasty. I added lemon juice and a little drizzle of olive oil on top once bowl was assembled. We started doing vegan almost a month ago and I’m continually looking for new food options. This was a great one.
