  • Customizable: Mix and match with your favorite veggies and proteins.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced
  • Microgreens or fresh herbs for garnish

How to Make Quinoa Power Bowl with Roasted Vegetables

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking the quinoa, add the green peas to the pot to warm them through.
  6. Once the butternut squash is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
