Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. In a small bowl, combine the cumin seeds, coriander, cinnamon and chilli flakes with a little seasoning.
  2. Put the squash, onions and garlic on a large baking tray, mist with cooking spray and toss with three-quarters of the spice mixture. Roast for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the tray from the oven, add the broccoli and mist with cooking spray. Toss to coat, and roast for a further 15 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mist the kale with cooking spray, and toss with the remaining spice mixture. Add to the baking tray and roast for a final 3-4 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa, then simmer in a pan with the stock for 15-20 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Squeeze the roasted garlic into a bowl. Whisk in the ginger, tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, honey and 2 tbsp warm water, adding a little more water if needed.
  7. Serve the quinoa and vegetables with the tahini yogurt.
