Directions:

To Make the Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425F.
  2. Cut your sweet potatoes into equal-size wedges or large cubes and transfer them to a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
  3. Drizzle on the olive oil and sprinkle on the cinnamon, paprika, and sea salt.
  4. Toss to coat.
  5. Roast for 20-30 minutes or until fork-tender and golden.
  6. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
To Make the Quinoa
  1. Add the quinoa and water to a medium sauce pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the quinoa is translucent and tender.
  2. Drain off excess water and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add in the chives, pomegranate seeds, hemp seeds, balsamic vinegar, and tamari. Toss to coat.
  4. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
To Make the Spiced Cranberry Sauce
  1. Add the cranberries, maple syrup, water, cinnamon, and cardamom to a large sauce pan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the cranberries have burst and broken down into a chunky sauce, stirring occasionally.
  2. Let cool and transfer to a glass jar.
  3. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
To Make the Mashed Avocado
  1. Add the flesh of the avocado to a bowl and squeeze the lime juice over top. Sprinkle on some sea salt, and use the back of a fork to mash the avocado. Stir in the chili flakes.
