Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

How to Make Quinoa Power Bowl with Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned squash on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
- While the squash is roasting, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rinsed quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- In the last 5 minutes of cooking the quinoa, add the green peas to the pot to warm them through.
- Once the butternut squash is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- To assemble the power bowls, divide the quinoa and pea mixture among serving bowls. Top with roasted butternut squash, apple slices, and shredded cheese if using.
- Garnish with microgreens or fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to rinse the quinoa thoroughly to remove any bitterness.
- Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or broccoli.
- For added protein, consider topping with grilled chicken or chickpeas.
Easy Variations
- Swap butternut squash for sweet potatoes or carrots for a different flavor profile.
- Use brown rice or farro in place of quinoa for a hearty twist.
- Add a dollop of hummus or a drizzle of tahini for extra creaminess.
What to Serve With It
- A side of mixed greens with a light vinaigrette.
- Grilled chicken or tofu for added protein.
- A slice of crusty whole-grain bread.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold as a refreshing salad!
