Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

  • Optional: 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  6. Add chickpeas to baking sheet in the last 10 minutes of roasting to warm.
  7. Once cooked, assemble bowls with quinoa as the base, topped with roasted vegetables and chickpeas.
  8. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, avocado, pumpkin seeds, and parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, toast the quinoa before boiling and drizzle a tahini-lemon dressing over the top before serving.
