Roasted Vegetable Lentil Quinoa Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup green or brown lentils
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a separate saucepan, cook the lentils according to package instructions. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- While the quinoa and lentils are cooking, spread the mixed vegetables on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once the quinoa, lentils, and vegetables are ready, assemble the bowls by dividing the quinoa, lentils, and roasted vegetables among 4 serving bowls. Top with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired.
- Serve the roasted vegetable lentil quinoa bowls immediately and enjoy!
