Tips for a Perfect Quinoa Bowl:

  • Choose the Right Quinoa: Use high-quality white, red, or black quinoa. Ensure it's well-rinsed before cooking to remove any bitterness.
  • Cook Quinoa Perfectly: Follow the recommended ratio of quinoa to water (1:2) and cook until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. For added flavor, toast the quinoa in a pan with olive oil before cooking.
  • Roast Veggies to Perfection: Cut veggies into uniform sizes for even cooking. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at high heat until tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Make a Flavorful Dressing: Combine lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and herbs (like parsley or cilantro) in a jar and shake well. For a creamy dressing, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or tahini.
  • Assemble the Bowl: Start with a bed of cooked quinoa, then add roasted veggies, feta, nuts, seeds, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with dressing and top with extra feta if desired.
