Delicious roasted vegetables plus flavorful blue cheese tossed with quinoa makes for a tasty and nourishing side dish or light meal
Roasted vegetables are my favorite things on Earth. I could eat roasted vegetables every day, and pretty much every vegetable tastes good roasted. Ok, so not celery but every other one I can think of is delicious.
They’re basically person. Roasted vegetables are simple to make. They taste great, and it’s super easy to eat a lot of vegetables in one sitting since the vegetables cook down so much. You can add them to so many things to improve the taste and nourishing benefits… grilled cheese, salsa, sauce, soup, and hummus. Yay for more veggies!
I mean I love salads, but I don’t want to eat one every day. Salads that don’t involved lettuce but have lots of veggies are fab. Roast your vegetables then add them to your quinoa and you have a filling side dish or even a tasty light meal.
You’ll start by roasting your veggies. While those veggies are roasting, you will cook the quinoa. Once those are both done, you toss them together and let them cool a little bit. Add in some blue cheese and green onion for extra flavor, and you have a tasty little side dish. It’s great served with grilled chicken.
If you happen to not love blue cheese, then feta or goat cheese would both be great substitutes. Also, feel free to improvise on the veggies you use. Bell peppers & mushrooms are two of my favorite vegetables to roast. They would be quite tasty in this dish, but I just didn’t have any in my kitchen at the time. And if you’re feeling extra nutritious, you could toss in a few extra veggies! (Just up your olive oil and salt to keep them flavorful)
Fun fact: this keeps in the fridge for a few days, so you can snack on it all week.
