Quinoa Bowl with Tempeh and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 8 oz tempeh, cubed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tbsp of maple syrup, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the cubed tempeh and marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, toss the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the vegetables are roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated tempeh and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- To assemble the quinoa bowls, divide the cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables and tempeh. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
The quinoa bowl with tempeh and roasted vegetables has a rich history rooted in the Andean region of South America, where quinoa has been a staple for thousands of years. This nutritious dish gained popularity in the United States during the rise of the health food movement in the 21st century. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi and Angela Liddon have popularized this dish in their cookbooks and restaurants, adding their own unique twists to the recipe. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in health-conscious cafes and restaurants that prioritize fresh, organic ingredients. The key to a perfect quinoa bowl lies in the balance of flavors and textures, with the nutty quinoa, savory tempeh, and caramelized roasted vegetables coming together harmoniously. For a unique twist, some chefs incorporate a tangy tahini dressing or a spicy peanut sauce to elevate the dish.
