Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse Quinoa

    Place 1 cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 2 minutes. This helps remove the natural coating that can make quinoa taste bitter.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Roast Vegetables

  1. 3

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 4

    Chop Vegetables

    While the oven is preheating, chop the bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and carrot into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 5

    Season and Roast

    On a baking sheet, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Make Dressing

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Assemble Bowl

  1. 7

    Combine Quinoa and Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 8

    Drizzle Dressing

    Drizzle the tahini dressing over the quinoa and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

  3. 9

    Garnish

    If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
