Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook quinoa: Combine quinoa and vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until broth is absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  2. Roast vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss broccoli florets, bell peppers, and red onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  3. Assemble bowls: Divide cooked quinoa among serving bowls. Top with roasted vegetables, chickpeas, and fresh parsley.
  4. Make dressing: Whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over bowls.

Notes

  • Add your favorite protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or a fried egg.
  • Customize with other vegetables such as sweet potatoes, zucchini, or corn.
  • A sprinkle of feta cheese or a dollop of hummus adds extra flavor.
