Preparation of Grains

Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Preparation of Vegetables

Roast the Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Chop the zucchini and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, and kale with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
