Ingredients

1 cup white quinoa
1 large red bell pepper
1 medium zucchini squash
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

The red bell pepper and zucchini squash are sliced into uneven chunks while broccoli florets are trimmed and cherry tomatoes remain whole and slightly scattered creating a mix of shapes and sizes that look natural and ready for roasting.
The chopped vegetables are combined with olive oil garlic salt and pepper then lightly mixed so some pieces are coated while others still show dry edges creating a glossy and matte contrast.
The vegetables soften and edges slightly brown while cherry tomatoes wrinkle and release juices creating a mix of caramelized spots and soft textures with uneven roasting marks.
The white quinoa grains expand and become fluffy with small spirals visible and a slightly clumped texture that separates unevenly across the surface.
The quinoa is placed into a bowl and roasted vegetables are layered on top unevenly then feta cheese is scattered with lemon juice drizzled creating contrast between creamy and bright elements.

Notes

One of my signature recipes! This is a quinoa bowl made the wholesome way with roasted vegetables and a bright finish. No heavy sauces and just fresh simple flavors. Though it is quick to make it is worth every bite. The vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized and the quinoa is light and fluffy.
Makes 4 hearty servings. This bowl has layers of quinoa with vegetables and cheese topping then finished with lemon. You could add more toppings. If making bigger portions scale up the recipe by 25 percent and use a larger bowl.
