Sweet Potato & Quinoa Slice

Print Recipe

Earlier this year we made this delicious Vegetarian Sweet Potato & Quinoa slice which was a real hit with our in store shoppers. Sweet potato is such a great base vegetable with loads of great nutritional benefits and it works well in many recipes savoury and sweet. An excellent source of vitamin A, high in vitamin C, magnesium, B6 and iron, it is one of our favourite vegetables to incorporate into a healthy wholefoods diet.

Re-sharing the recipe now on the blog for all to enjoy.
