Quinoa with Roasted Veggies

Happy Thursday!

I love to cook new recipes and Tyler loves trying new recipes! So the past few weeks I've been spending a lot of time on Pinterest searching for some new Foods for us to try! :) Pinterest can be so addicting! 

Anyways…this recipe for Quinoa with Roasted Veggies looked SO good! I had to try it!…I was a little nervous for Tyler to try it though. He came out to the Kitchen while I was cooking and said "Do I eat that?!" haha…I said well tonight we are trying something a little different, but I think you will like it! Sure enough! He loved it! And so did I!

QUINOA WITH ROASTED VEGGIES:

3 C. cooked Quinoa (cook in Chicken Broth instead of water)

1/2 C. Carrots

1/2 C. Red Pepper

1/2 C. Asparagus

1/3 C. Onion

3 T. Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

VINAIGRETTE:

3 T. Olive Oil

3 teaspoons White Balsamic Vinegar (I used White Wine Vinegar. I forgot to buy White Balsamic!)

1 T. Honey (Melt in microwave for 10-15 sec)

Salt and Pepper

Cook the Quinoa. Dice all the vegetables. And make the vinaigrette by mixing all ingredients together in a bowl.

Preheat oven to 400. 

Toss the vegetables in a pan with 3 Tablespoons Oil, Salt and Pepper. Cook for 13 minutes.

Toss together Quinoa, Vegetables and Vinaigrette.

Serve at room temp. Delicious!! I served the Quinoa as a side to the Bacon Wrapped Jambalaya Stuffed Chicken. That recipe is here: http://krystinaskitchen89.blogspot.com/2013/09/bacon-wrapped-jambalaya-stuffed-chicken.html
