Categories     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 c. dry quinoa
2 T. olive oil
3 c. broccoli, chopped into small pieces
1 can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
1/2 t. sea salt
fresh black pepper
1 T. coconut oil
1/2 c. yellow onion, chopped fine
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 t. coriander
3/4 t. cumin
1/4 t. turmeric
1/4 t. paprika
1/8 t. cinnamon
fresh cilantro
lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Toss the broccoli and chickpeas with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Spread out the mixture evenly onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake the mix for 20-25 minutes, until the broccoli is lightly charred (not burnt). Meanwhile, heat the coconut oil in a pan. Add in the onion and cook for about five minutes. Add in the garlic and spices and cook for about one minute. Add in the cooked quinoa and toss the mix until the quinoa is coated with the spices (you may need to add a bit of water or more oil to prevent sticking). Lightly stir in the roasted vegetables (or just pile them on top). Top with a squirt of lemon juice and a bit of fresh cilantro and serve!

The recipe was missing some key ingredients, like salt and pepper. Overall, it was a bit bland.

A bit too spicy for my taste, but still a good recipe. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I also added some chopped almonds for extra crunch. Turned out delicious!

The recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

Tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family. The kids loved the roasted broccoli and chickpeas, and my husband and I enjoyed the complex flavors of the Moroccan spices. A definite do-over!

I'm not usually a fan of quinoa, but this recipe changed my mind. The spices and roasted vegetables really elevate the quinoa and make it a delicious and satisfying meal.

This recipe is a flavor explosion! The combination of Moroccan spices, roasted broccoli, and chickpeas is divine. I especially loved the crispy texture of the chickpeas. Definitely a keeper!
