Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
