- 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne

Instructions
A glossy brown sugar and bourbon glaze turns sweet potatoes into the must-have garnish of the season. Paired with nutty quinoa, they make for a meal you won’t soon forget.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Prepare quinoa according to package directions.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and bourbon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often until the sugar dissolves. Stir in butter, vinegar, salt, and cayenne. Let it simmer gently for 8 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes in glaze, making sure to coat completely. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Assemble the bowls by layering quinoa, sweet potato, spinach, and avocado. Drizzle with any remaining glaze.
