Power Quinoa Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Stir in the cooked quinoa and chickpeas, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the quinoa and vegetable mixture into bowls. Top with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
- Drizzle with sriracha or hot sauce if desired.
- Serve and enjoy!
