Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups vegetable broth or water
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth or water. Add oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
4. While the quinoa cooks, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and divide it into bowls.
8. Top each bowl with roasted vegetables and a generous sprinkle of feta cheese.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to revive the flavors.

For added texture and flavor, consider sprinkling some toasted nuts or seeds on top of your bowls. Common mistakes include overcooking quinoa, which can make it mushy; aim for a fluffy texture.

If you want to make this dish vegan, simply skip the feta or substitute it with a plant-based cheese. These bowls also make a fantastic lunch option; just pack the components separately and combine them when you’re ready to eat.
