Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), seeded and chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado, feta cheese, a lemon-tahini dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  3. On a large baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potato, red onion wedges, chopped bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through.
  6. Assemble your bowls by layering the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, and any desired toppings.
