INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked quinoa (185g)
1 cup roasted chickpeas (164g)
1 cup roasted mixed vegetables (100g)
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare quinoa by rinsing 1/2 cup dry quinoa thoroughly under cold water. Cook according to package instructions until it becomes fluffy, usually about 15 minutes.
While the quinoa is cooking, toss a mix of chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion (about 1 cup total) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Place 1 cup of chickpeas (preferably pre-cooked) on a separate baking sheet, season with your favorite spices such as cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until lightly crispy.
Once everything is cooked, assemble your bowl by layering the cooked quinoa, roasted mixed vegetables, and roasted chickpeas.
Top the bowl with 1/2 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt to add a creamy, tangy finish.
Gently mix all ingredients together before serving and enjoy your balanced, nutrient-packed meal!
