Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Chop the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
  3. Toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, garlic, herbs, spices, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Spread the vegetables on baking sheets in a single layer and roast for 25-35 minutes until golden and tender.
  5. Rinse quinoa under cold water for about 30 seconds to remove bitterness.
  6. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa, water or broth, and a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.

  8. Once done, let the quinoa rest, covered, for an additional 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  10. Drizzle with your choice of dressing and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
