Autumn Glow Quinoa Bowls offer 5 comforting recipes packed with warmth and flavor to brighten your cozy meals this season

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the diced butternut squash and halved brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized on the edges.
  • While the vegetables roast, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth or water to a boil in a pot. Add the rinsed quinoa, lower heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy.
  • Let the quinoa rest covered off heat for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, dried cranberries, toasted nuts, and maple syrup. Drizzle remaining olive oil if needed and toss gently to mix.
  • Season to taste with additional salt and black pepper as preferred. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top for a creamy contrast.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
