This Roasted Vegetable Bowl is a vibrant mix of seasonal vegetables, perfectly roasted to enhance their natural flavors, and served over a bed of quinoa for a wholesome meal. Topped with a tangy balsamic glaze, it’s a delightful and nutritious dairy-free dinner option.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 1 medium, diced
• Bell pepper (any color) - 1 medium, diced
• Carrot - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, chopped
• Cherry tomatoes - 1 cup, halved
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Quinoa - 1/2 cup, rinsed
• Vegetable broth - 1 cup
• Balsamic vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, bell pepper, carrot, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
3. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
6. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the quinoa. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
7. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed.
8. In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar with a pinch of salt and pepper.
9. Once the vegetables and quinoa are done, divide the quinoa between two bowls, top with the roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the balsamic mixture.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
