Quinoa with roasted vegetables and feta
Serves three:
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 small red kuri squash
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large parsnip
- 1 red onion
- Olive oil
- 250g quinoa
- 80g feta
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F (fan-assisted oven).
- Prepare the vegetables: peel the sweet potato, carrots, parsnip and onion (the skin of the red kuri squash is edible; if the squash is organic or home-grown, there is no need to remove the skin). Cut the vegetables into small pieces.
- Line a baking tray with some parchment paper and arrange the vegetables (except the red onion). Add a generous splash of olive oil and then mix with your hands. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Mix the vegetables again and add the red onion, cook for a further 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa and place in a saucepan. Cover with water and cook over a low heat for approximately 15 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, season and add the feta pieces. Place the vegetables and feta on top of the quinoa, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
