Quinoa with Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli Recipe

Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low cover and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed about 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile place the diced sweet potatoes into a saucepan and pour in 1/4-inch of water. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Steam until the sweet potatoes are just slightly tender about 10 minutes. While the potatoes are steaming heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onion and broccoli until the onion is tender about 10 minutes.

Once the potatoes have finished steaming add them to the broccoli mixture and season with garlic powder. Continue cooking until the potatoes have cooked to your desired degree of doneness about 5 minutes. Stir the broccoli mixture together with the cooked quinoa and almonds. Season to taste with soy sauce if desired to serve.
