Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Rinse and cook quinoa according to package instructions, then set aside.

Spread vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway.

While vegetables roast, chop fresh basil and parsley. Prepare lemon juice.

6

When vegetables are done, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Toss with fresh herbs and lemon juice.
