5) Again in the same bowl, combine oil, curry powder, salt and sriracha. Add sweet potatoes and coat well. Lay rounds on remaining third of baking sheet.
6) Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the broccoli and sweet potatoes, and redistribute chickpeas for even cooking. Bake another 8-12 minutes.
7) Rinse and drain quinoa. Add to vegetable broth in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for approximately 15 minutes. Once cooked, fluff with fork.
8) While quinoa is simmering and other ingredients are roasting, preheat a large skillet with 1 teaspoon of oil. Add kale and cook about 5 minutes or until nearly tender. Add salt, chili powder and lime juice. Toss and coat and cook for another minute or 2.
9) Assemble the bowls by scooping 1/2-1 cup quinoa, and 1/2 of the other ingredients in each bowl. Mix it up or leave it separate as desired. Enjoy.
