I have a new love for quinoa and I've always liked roasting vegetables with a little salt pepper and olive oil. I decide to try to mix them together and found it to be a really good side dish. This can be a main meal for a vegetarian or vegan since quinoa is a good protein source. Hope you enjoy it!
