Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a large baking tray, toss the carrots, parsnips, and red onion with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, combine the rinsed quinoa and 300ml of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- 3.Prepare the dressing by whisking together the tahini, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add water, whisking continuously, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 4.In the last 5 minutes of roasting time, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced halloumi and pan-sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden-brown and crisp.
- 5.Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- 6.To serve, divide the herbed quinoa between two bowls. Top with the roasted root vegetables and the seared halloumi slices. Drizzle generously with the lemon-tahini dressing.
