# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
02 - Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.
03 - In a saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
05 - Add crumbled tofu, turmeric, smoked paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Cook, stirring, for 5–7 minutes until heated through and lightly golden. Sprinkle in black salt at the end for an eggy flavor if desired.
06 - Add spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes until just wilted. Adjust seasoning to taste.
07 - Divide cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top with tofu scramble, roasted sweet potatoes, and avocado slices. Garnish with green onions and fresh herbs if desired.
08 - Serve immediately.
