Lemon Pepper Quinoa Bowl

When the temps start to rise, I start to crave simple grains and veggie meals. That being said, if you don’t cook them right, veggies and grains can be boring and lacking flavor. Not! This! Meal! The lemon, pepper, and garlic flavors pack and punch and complement each other perfectly. It will no doubt leave you wanting more!

Ingredients

  • 1 c tri-colored quinoa
  • 1/4 c garlic hummus
  • 1/2 head of cauliflower 
  • 1/2 head of broccoli 
  • 1 zucchini 
  • 1 yellow squash 
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and chop the veggies. Add them all to a mixing bowl and coat in EVOO. Then add salt and pepper and toss again. 
  3. Spread the seasoned veggies on a lined baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, until a fork sticks through easily and the bottoms are a bit crispy.
  4. While the veggies are roasting, cook the quinoa according to package directions. 
  5. When the quinoa is cooked, remove from the stovetop and place in a serving bowl. Add lemon, salt, pepper and garlic hummus and mix well.
  6. Remove the veggies from the oven and add to the quinoa mixture. 
  7. Serve and enjoy!
