Ingredients to make a Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowl

• Quinoa: If you have leftover cooked quinoa you can use it for this bowl. If not you can follow the steps below to make some for this specifc recipe.
• Onions: Red onions have that beautiful purple color and taste sweet when roasted. You can use any other onions though.
• Red & green pepper: Red peppers tend to have a nice sweetness to them and a nice and bright red coloring, while green peppers are more bitter. The balance in taste and color is wonderful in these owls.
• Sweet potatoes: Peel and cut into bite-sized cubes to roast with the other vegetables
• Yellow squash: Cut them into cubes so that they are easy to roast and more edges get caramelized.
• Olive oil and seasonings: Olive oil is great for tossing all the veggies with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and fresh parsley and roasting them in the oven.
• Tahini sauce: Learn how to make my authentic tahini sauce with just tahini, lemon juice and garlic.

2. Cook, then fluff with a fork.

Tips for making a quinoa veggie bowl

1. Learn how to make the perfect pot of quinoa. Check out my how to cook quinoa recipe with step-by-step easy instructions. And don’t forget to allow the quinoa to cool before fluffing it so that it can absorb any remaining liquid.
2. Use broth to cook the quinoa. Water works perfectly fine, but vegetable broth or chicken broth can really boost the flavor of the quinoa easily.
3. Don’t overcrowd the pan with vegetables. Try to keep the vegetables from overlapping too much so that you ensure they roast in the oven instead of steam.
4. Don’t skip the broil step at the end. Even if you overcrowded the vegetables in the sheet pan, broiling in the end really helps to get the crisp and caramelized.

popular substitutions & additions

• Change up the quinoa. There are options when it comes to cooking quinoa! You can cook up white, red, black, or even tri-colored quinoa.
• Add in seasonal vegetables. If you have garden vegetables, those would be perfect to use in this simple bowl. Use summer veggies in the summer, and winter veggies in the winter!
• Don’t forget the toppings. Fresh lemon juice or lime juice squeezed on top adds such a great flavor. You can also add fresh cilantro, chives, and even sesame seeds, too.
• Change up the sauce. You can try a drizzle of chili oil, try some tzatziki sauce or even some aioli sauce on top especially if you’re not a fan of tahini sauce.

This recipe is best made and eaten fresh or as a leftover from the fridge. The texture would become compromised potentially once frozen.

how to reheat Quinoa Bowl with Veggies

The easiest way to reheat leftover quinoa is to add a tad bit of liquid to the bowl and put it into the microwave to warm up. (This helps to bring a bit of softness back to the quinoa since it can dry out a bit once cooled.) I recommend reheating in 30-second spurts and storing in between each time. Don’t add too much liquid, start small. You can always add more as needed.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

For the Quinoa

• ▢ 1 ½ cups uncooked quinoa
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 2 ½ cups water

For the Vegetables

• ▢ 1 red onion chopped
• ▢ 1 red pepper chopped
• ▢ 1 large sweet potato chopped into cubes
• ▢ 1 large yellow squash end trimmed, cut into ½-inch pieces
• ▢ 1 green pepper chopped
• ▢ 3 tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon oregano

Instructions

• Cook the Quinoa. Place quinoa in a small saucepan along with the salt and water. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and cook covered for 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat. Allow the quinoa to rest in the saucepan for about 5 minutes, without opening the lid, to absorb all the liquid and steam. Uncover and fluff with a fork to separate the quinoa.
• Roast the Vegetables. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the vegetables on a rimmed 18 x 13-inch baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Use your hands to toss the vegetables and spread out into an even layer. Roast until fork tender 30 minutes. Flip the vegetables and broil on high heat for another 5 minutes.
• Divide the quinoa among four bowls. Add the roasted vegetables on top and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Drizzle tahini sauce on top and enjoy immediately.
