Ingredients

4 cups sweet potatoes, cut in 12– inch cubes 

2 cups homemade or low-sodium vegetable broth 

1 (15- ounce) can of low-sodium kidney beans, drained and rinsed 

1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed 

1 cup frozen corn, thawed 

2 teaspoons ground smoky paprika 

1 teaspoon chili powder 

12 teaspoon dried thyme 

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

12 cup chopped green onions (white and green parts) 

1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.  Combine the sweet potatoes, broth, beans, quinoa, corn, paprika, chili powder, oregano, and thyme into a large baking dish. Stir until mixed well and cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the potatoes are tender. Allow the dish to sit for 5 minutes to absorb any excess liquid. Sprinkle with the green onions and parsley and serve.
