Preparation
Roast the carrots
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the carrots with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 15 to 18 min., until tender.
Cook the quinoa
Meanwhile, using a strainer, rinse the quinoa. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions), all but a pinch of the remaining spices and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until tender. Fluff the quinoa.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, halve, core and thinly slice the pear. In a large bowl, combine the kale, baby greens, pear, cheese, remaining spices and ⅔ of the vinaigrette.
Plate your dish
Divide the quinoa between your bowls. Top with the salad and carrots. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Garnish with the pepitas. Bon appétit!
