Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
- 2 cups vegetable broth (allergy-safe, gluten-free)
- 1 medium zucchini (diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup chopped kale (stems removed)
- 1/2 cup canned chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
Equipment
- Medium saucepan with lid
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Cutting board and knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Bowl for mixing
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the broth is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
- Prepare vegetables: While quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add veggies: Toss in diced zucchini and red bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Season: Stir in smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped kale and chickpeas, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until kale wilts slightly.
- Combine: Remove skillet from heat and add cooked quinoa to the vegetables. Drizzle lemon juice over the mixture and toss gently to combine all flavors.
- Serve warm: Plate the quinoa veggie mix and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for meal prep.
Tips & Variations
Swap out quinoa for millet or brown rice if preferred – just adjust cooking times accordingly.
For added protein, try mixing in cooked lentils or black beans.
To avoid nightshades, replace bell pepper with shredded carrots or chopped green beans.
Boost flavor with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro right before serving.
