In the spirit of keeping things healthy, I teamed these roasted veggies with quinoa.Your vegetables should be seasoned simply with Himalayan salt and black pepper and tossed in olive oil. But here is where you can get creative! You can substitute any vegetables of your choosing like turnips, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, asparagus, and red potatoes. For the vegetables, you’ll need fresh and raw sweet potatoes, zucchini, carrots, broccoli florets/broccolini, and mushrooms.You really want to allow the natural flavors from the veggies to shine. So when I roast my vegetables, a simple seasoning of salt and pepper does just fine. When roasting vegetables (especially root vegetables), you automatically enhance their flavor and natural sweetness via the caramelization that occurs during the roast process (dry cooking). This recipe will surprisingly catch your taste buds off guard! Why should I use roasted vegetables? This vegan recipe goes to show that enjoying healthy-for-you dishes doesn’t mean they lack flavor. There is an advantage in understanding the importance of a healthy diet and the nutritional value of the foods we eat. Now I can’t get enough them, and they are a consistent part of my daily cuisine. I would sit at the dinner table, looking down at my veggies, trying to figure out how I was going to make it through. And as a bonus - you can even sprinkle crumbled feta on top for an added flavor boost.Įnjoying this dish now, I am taken back to my younger years when I “had” to eat my vegetables. Simple and easy to make, you can roast your favorite vegetables (this recipe uses zucchini, sweet potatoes, baby carrots, mushrooms, and broccoli) and toss them in a lightly sweetened and slightly tart vinaigrette to lock in all those flavors. This would also go great with my Baked Flounder with Tomatoes and Basil. Love quinoa? You should check out my Baked Flounder with Pontchartrain Sauce.
This Warm Quinoa & Roasted Veggie Salad combines the taste and texture of roasted veggies and fluffy and nutty quinoa with a delicious homemade vinaigrette dressing.
