    Finest Chef: Roasted Veggie Quinoa

    Ingredients

    2 large red peppers, large diced
    3 small zuchinnis, large diced
    1 very large or 2 medium onions, large diced
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    salt and pepper to taste
    2 cups quinoa
    4 cups water
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 450°. Combine diced vegetables in a large bowl and
    toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment
    lined baking sheet large enough to accommodate the vegetables. Roast
    uncovered until slightly charred at the tips, about 40 minutes.
    Meanwhile, prepare the quinoa. If the quinoa is not pre-rinsed, place
    in a fine mesh sieve and rinse well under cold water.
    Transfer quinoa to a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the
    water, oil, salt and pepper. Mix and bring to a simmer. Cover and
    allow to simmer until all of the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
    *Lower heat will result in mushier quinoa, higher heat will result in
    quinoa with a bit of a bite to it. I prefer the latter and cook over a
    medium-high flame the entire time.*
    Remove from flame but do not uncover the skillet. Allow the quinoa to
    steam in the covered skillet for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff with
    fork. Top quinoa with roasted veggies and serve layered or mixed.
