    Roasted Winter Vegetable Quinoa Bowl

    I have been getting really good at emptying out my fridge at the end of every week to make room for my new lovelies picked up from the farmer's market on Sunday. And emptying of the said fridge is exactly how this Quinoa Veggie Bowl came about.

    Quinoa Veggie Bowl with Basil Hummus Dressing

    This is a great recipe to make your own, depending on what stragglers you have left in the ice-box at the end of the week.

    I used a selection of:

    • sweet potato,
    • beetroot,
    • brussels sprouts
    • and broccoli.

    But I can totally see some cauliflower or carrots being right at home in here.

    Unfortunately, we had no carrots left, as my 3-year-old has decided they are the best thing ever, and eats them like they are going out of fashion.

    There are definitely worse problems to have.

    What Is Needed For This Quinoa Veggie Bowl?

    Is there anything better than a big tray of roasted veggies?

    I think not!

    Pair them in this quinoa bowl with a quick and easy basil pesto hummus dressing, and you are raring to go with a delicious and nutritious bowl that really takes no effort at all to put together.

    I top mine with some:

    • crunchy chopped walnuts,
    • a sprinkle of hemp seeds,
    • some chopped shallots,
    • and a beautifully poached egg, which gives you the perfect protein-enriched bowl.

    Change it up and serve with some baked tofu or some strips of stir-fried chicken or beef if eggs aren't your thing. Or just serve as is.

    Like I said, this quinoa veggie bowl is just begging to be made into your own creation using whatever you have on hand.

    Play around, have some fun and delve in.

    Quick Tip On Making Quinoa Extra Quick

    To make things extra quick in the kitchen, I have been using an Instant Pot for cooking grains etc. I have no affiliation with the brand, I just really love how quick the device makes everything!

    Hope you love it!

    Happy eating 🙂

      I love the recipe, and I definitely want to try it. But I would totally would go for homemade hummus and pesto. The prepared ones contain loads of preservatives or acidis. A good homade pesto is also a great breakfast!

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
