INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups Cooked Lentils (approx 250g)
0.75 cups Cooked Quinoa (approx 185g)
1 cup Mixed Roasted Vegetables (approx 150g)
0.5 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Thyme)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss your choice of vegetables (e.g., a mix of carrots and broccoli) with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and edges begin to caramelize.
Meanwhile, if not already prepared, cook lentils and quinoa according to their package instructions. For the lentils, simmer in water until tender (about 20-25 minutes). For quinoa, rinse well and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper to create a light, zesty dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, quinoa, and roasted vegetables. Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the mixture and gently toss to ensure even flavor distribution.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, and enjoy this balanced bowl that brings together hearty legumes, nutrient-dense grains, and vibrant roasted veggies.
