Description

A vibrant and healthy bowl featuring protein-packed quinoa and an array of perfectly roasted, crunchy vegetables, ideal for a satisfying and nutritious meal.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup dry quinoa, rinsed
2 cups vegetable broth or water
4 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli florets, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, chickpeas)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Lemon-Tahini Dressing:
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon warm water (or more, to adjust consistency)
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of salt
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Step 1: Cook the quinoa. Combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water) in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Step 2: Prepare vegetables. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop all vegetables into similar-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the chopped vegetables and chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Roast vegetables. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on one or two baking sheets (do not overcrowd). Roast for 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender-crisp and lightly browned with crunchy edges.
Step 4: Make the dressing. While vegetables are roasting, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, warm water, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
Step 5: Assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa among 4 serving bowls. Top with the roasted crunchy vegetables. Drizzle generously with the lemon-tahini dressing.
Step 6: Garnish and serve. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious and crunchy quinoa veggie bowl!

Notes

Feel free to customize your veggies! Sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or even asparagus would work well. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the veggies before roasting. Store leftover quinoa and vegetables separately to maintain crunchiness.
