Ingredients

2 cups/300g cooked quinoa
1 cup/165g cooked black beans
1 medium/200g red bell pepper
1 medium/275g sweet potato
1 tsp/2g cumin
2 tbsp/30ml olive oil divided
1 tsp/6g salt divided
¾ tsp/2g ground pepper divided
3 tbsp/45ml tahini
2 -3 tbsp/30-45ml lemon juice
2 tsp/4g lemon zest
6-8 large collard leaves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F/190 C. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Wash sweet potatoes and dry. Cut of ends and slice into ½” slices. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp/15ml olive oil, cumin, ½ tsp/3g salt, ¼ tsp ground pepper.
Spread on baking sheet so the slices are not touching. Bake for 15-20 minutes until soft but slightly crispy on the corners.
Start a large pot of water boiling. Set out a big bowl of ice water and put a strainer in the sink.
Lay each collard green leaf out flat on a cutting board with the view side up. Cut off the stem at the base of the broad part of the leaf. Holding the knife flat to the leaf, slice off the bulbous part of the stem so that it lays flat. Repeat with remaining leaves.
Once water has boiled, remove from heat. Immediately add prepared collard leaves. Blanche for 15 seconds. Dump water and collard leaves in the strainer. Add collard leaves to ice water and leaves until greens are cooled. Drain and dry leaves.
Wash and dry bell pepper. Slice lengthwise into ½” stripes.
Combine quinoa, black beans, tahini, lemon juice and zest, ½ tsp/3g salt, ½ tsp/1g ground pepper, and 1 tbsp/15ml olive oil. Toss to mix.
Lay one blanched collard leaf on a work surface. Place 1/3 – ½ c (depending on size of the leaf) of quinoa mixture along the center vein of the leaf. Place 2-3 pieces each of red pepper and sweet potato along the quinoa mixture.
Fold the base end and tip of the collard leaf over the mixture. Fold over one side and roll towards the other edge.
Repeat with remaining filling and leaves.

Notes

Can be stored for up to 1 day in an airtight container in the fridge. Collard leaves start to get an over cooked taste after sitting for too long.
