  • After the sweet potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, take out the baking sheet and add in the asparagus. Pop into the oven for another 15 minutes.

Quinoa

  • While cooking vegetables, make quinoa according to instructions with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Takes about 10 minutes to cook in total.

Shrimp

  • Heat up the frying pan that had kale in it. Add 1 tsp olive oil, then shrimp, cover with garlic powder and paprika. Let it cook for 4-6 minutes, flipping them midway so they cook throughout.
