Ingredients

2 cups of broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 medium yellow squash, sliced into half-moons

1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved

1 large red onion, sliced

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1/4 cup of olive oil

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon of dried oregano

1 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

1 cup of quinoa, cooked (for serving)

Optional: Feta cheese or avocado slices (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, red bell pepper, zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Combine: Pour the dressing over the mixed veggies and toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Roast the Veggies: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

Prepare the Quinoa: While the veggies are roasting, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the quinoa, then simmering it in two cups of water or vegetable broth for about 15 minutes.

Assemble the Bowls: Once the veggies are done, remove them from the oven. In serving bowls, place a scoop of quinoa at the bottom, topped with a generous helping of the roasted veggie mix.

Garnish: Add chopped parsley on top for freshness. If desired, sprinkle with feta cheese or add avocado slices for creaminess.

Serve & Enjoy: Drizzle any leftover dressing over the bowls, and serve warm. Enjoy your Zesty Garlic Lemon Roasted Veggie Bowls!
