Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa (or brown rice)

2 cups vegetable broth (for cooking quinoa)

1 medium sweet potato, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp pure maple syrup

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

¼ cup sliced almonds (toasted)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Cook the Quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

      Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts.

        Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

          Toss and Coat: Pour the maple mixture over the veggies and toss until they are evenly coated.

            Roast the Vegetables: Spread the marinated vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

              Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa as the base. Top with the roasted vegetables.

                Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and toasted almonds on top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.

                  Serve: Drizzle any remaining maple dressing over the assembled bowls, if desired, and enjoy your vibrant and nutritious Maple Roasted Veggie Grain Bowl!
