Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by cooking the wild rice and quinoa according to package instructions, which should take around 15-20 minutes. Rinse under cold water, combine in separate pots with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover until tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop the sweet potatoes into cubes and toss with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and tender.
- Drizzle the cleaned and chopped kale with a splash of the maple cinnamon vinaigrette. Massage the kale for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes vibrant and tender.
- In a large bowl, layer the massaged kale, followed by the cooked wild rice and quinoa. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, diced apple, chopped red onion, smoked gouda, and nuts or seeds.
- Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the assembled bowls and gently toss to combine. Enjoy warm, cold, or at room temperature.
