Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

1/2 cup - 1 cup

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 1 large yellow onion rough chopped
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup corn
• 1 zucchini rough chopped
• 1 red pepper rough chopped
• 1 yellow pepper rough chopped
• 2 large carrot rough chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 2 T coconut oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• Add the quinoa and water to a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, then turn down, cover and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed. Mine took about 7-10 minutes.
• Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Spread all the chopped veggies, except the corn, onto a lined baking sheet. Brush them with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 1 hour. Stop halfway to flip the veggies over. When there is only about 5 minutes left, add in the corn.
• Once the vegetables are done, add them to the quinoa and mix well. This is the time to add the lemon juice as well. Take a taste and add more salt, pepper or garlic if needed.
