Ingredients

• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Zucchini - 1, diced

• Spinach - 2 cups, fresh
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness.
2. In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and all the liquid is absorbed.
3. While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
5. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the spinach wilts.
6. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.
7. Drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.
8. Serve the vegetable quinoa bowl warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
