Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
- While the quinoa is simmering, prepare the vegetables. Place the sweet potato cubes, halved Brussels sprouts, and red onion wedges on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden. Give them a stir halfway through for even roasting.
- Once the quinoa and vegetables are ready, assemble the bowls. Divide the cooked quinoa among four bowls. Top each with an equal amount of the roasted vegetables, followed by a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese and toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Finish each bowl with a generous drizzle of balsamic glaze. Serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Change up the vegetables based on what's in season or what you have on hand.
- For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese alternative.
- To add a protein, consider topping with grilled chicken or chickpeas.
