Rinse 1 cup of quinoa in a strainer at the sink.

Place rinsed quinoa in a pot and add 2 cups of chicken stock.

Turn on the flame and wait for the mixture to start boiling.

Once boiling, cover the pot and lower the flame, simulating rice cooking.

After 15 minutes of simmering, fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it sit covered for a while.

Prepare the rest of the ingredients: use spinach instead of arugula, raisins instead of cranberries, and roast sweet potatoes in the air fryer.

Spray the air fryer tray and spread the frozen sweet potatoes, then spray lightly on top.

Set air fryer to 400 degrees for 15 minutes to roast the sweet potatoes.

Cut the apple into bite-size cubes using an apple corer.

In each bowl, add 1 packed cup of spinach, followed by the quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, chickpeas, and apples.

Add raisins to one bowl only for sweetness.

Crumble cheese on both bowls as a substitute for goat cheese.

Make the dressing by mixing 2 tablespoons of tahini with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or honey) and stir well.

Taste the dressing and consider doubling it for more flavor.
