- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the quinoa and vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
