Directions

Prepare the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium pot, combine the quinoa with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.

Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, toss the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
