Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 eggplant, diced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Base
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables are well coated.
Roasting
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
Cooking Quinoa
- While the vegetables roast, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and fluffy. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes, then fluff with a fork.
Serving
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
