Cook quinoa per package instructions, or in a rice cooker with a 2:1 ratio of water to quinoa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\">Remove core from cabbage, then thinly slice cabbage and kale. Spread out evenly on separate baking sheets. Drizzle both with avocado oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast cabbage at 450 \u00b0F for 20\u201323 minutes or until golden and slightly crisp. For the last 5\u20137 minutes, add kale to oven. Remove both and turn oven down to 375 \u00b0F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\">Put quinoa on a baking sheet and cover with chili oil. Season with salt to taste and toss. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through until quinoa is slightly golden and lightly crisp. While quinoa is baking, make dressing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"rkv-gutter-bottom-quarter\">Thinly slice onion and place in a bowl. Whisk together honey and water. Put a pan or small pot on medium heat and add a small splash of oil. Add sage leaves and rosemary. Pour in honey mixture and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Add vinegar and a pinch of salt. Stir again and let mixture simmer slightly for 1\u20132 minutes. Remove sage and rosemary and pour mixture over the red onion. Stir to combine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toss together kale, cabbage, and dressing. Pile generously into bowl.
