🍽 Ingredients

• 1 medium Red Onion
• 1 Red Bell Pepper
• 1 Yellow Bell Pepper
• 1 Zucchini
• 2 large Carrots
• 1 head Broccoli
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 cup Quinoa
• 2 cups Vegetable Broth

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for getting those veggies perfectly roasted.
2. Wash and prep your vegetables: Peel and chop 1 medium red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces. Wash and chop 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, and 1 zucchini into similar-sized pieces. Peel and chop 2 large carrots. Wash about 1 head of broccoli and cut into florets. I like to leave them a bit bigger for some nice texture; about 1-2 inches each.
3. Toss the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the chopped veggies with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.
4. Roast the vegetables: Spread the veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they aren't overcrowded, otherwise they'll steam instead of roast, which is not ideal, believe me. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly browned. Some nice char is a good sign!
5. Cook the quinoa: While the veggies are roasting, rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of vegetable broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
6. Combine and serve: Once the quinoa is cooked and the veggies are roasted, gently combine them in the large bowl. Now's a good time to add any fresh herbs you want! I like to add some chopped fresh parsley or dill. I did have some chives last week, they were good too. Give it a taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm and enjoy! It's SO good!

📝 Notes

• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese after roasting.
