Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the sweet potatoes in a large roasting tray and drizzle with oil. Roast for 10 minutes, then toss and add the cauliflower florets. Turn up the oven to 220°C/ 200°C fan/gas 7 and roast for a further 15-20 minutes. For the last 5 minutes, scatter the kale over the veg with extra oil and salt and pepper.
Heat the quinoa according to the pack instructions, then put into a large bowl and stir through the roasted veg, goat’s cheese and parsley.
In a small jug, whisk the lemon zest and juice, balsamic vinegar and 3 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper, then stir through the quinoa to serve.
