Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa

2 cups vegetable broth (or water)

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 medium carrot, sliced

1 red onion, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup baby spinach or arugula

1 avocado, sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese or nutritional yeast (for a vegan option)

Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium pot, combine rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

      Roast the Vegetables: On a large baking sheet, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, carrot, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the veggies evenly. Spread them out in a single layer.

        Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the vegetables for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

          Assemble the Bowl: In a large serving dish or individual bowls, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with the roasted veggies. Add a handful of baby spinach or arugula, sliced avocado, and sprinkle with feta cheese or nutritional yeast.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh herbs for a pop of flavor and color. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious Roasted Veggie Quinoa Bowl!
