Quinoa with Roasted Veggies and Goddess Dressing

Carol Bullock's Note:

This is the first thing I ever made with quinoa. If you've never tried Annie's dressings, you simply must!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 large chopped onion (in long pieces)
• 10 cloves garlic (or more if you like)
• Annie's Goddess Dressing (or any other dressing you like)
• baby carrots (or large ones cut into baby size)
• peeled and sliced potato (in thin rounds)
• asparagus
• green beans
• zucchini
• sliced bell pepper
• peeled and sliced beets (in thin rounds) or peeled and sliced squash (in thin rounds)
• peeled and sliced eggplant
• mushroom
• broccoli
• cauliflower
• cabbage
• bok choy
• leek

Directions:

1. Remember, veggies will cook according to texture and thickness, so cook harder veggies, like potatoes, squash and beets together, and others separately.
2. Coat like veggies in Annie's (or your other favorite) dressing.
3. Spread on lightly oiled baking sheet.
4. Put in 500-degree oven until veggies are roasted and soft.
5. When veggies are about halfway done, take off sheet and mix in bowl, then spread back out again and continue baking.
6. This ensures uniform coating.
7. While veggies are roasting, cook quinoa, as you would rice (Just boil and drain).
8. Drain and serve with roasted veggies on top.
9. I even splash a dollop of Annie's on top of my plate!

This rating is completely dependent on liking vegetables a lot. My children didn't like it, nor was my husband thrilled, but I really liked it. I will definately try it on my mother when she comes to visit though because she is a vegetarian and I believe she would rate it five stars.

I just used the vegetables I had on hand that had to be used and it was my first time tasting quinoa. I love the ease of this recipe (I used Zesty Italian dressing). Quinoa is an interesting change from rice and bulgar. Will use this again.
