These Easy 5-Star Roasted Veggie & Quinoa Bowls bring together caramelized Brussels sprouts, tender sweet potatoes, and roasted peppers over fluffy quinoa — all finished with a creamy lemon-garlic sauce. A simple, gluten-free, family-friendly meal perfect for weeknights or make-ahead lunches.
For the Bowls:
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Creamy Dressing:
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes:
Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
Crumbled feta or dairy-free cheese
Step 1: Cook the Quinoa
Rinse quinoa under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water (or broth).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
Step 2: Prep the Vegetables
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss diced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, and sliced peppers with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet, giving each piece space to roast evenly.
Step 3: Roast to Perfection
Roast vegetables for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove when edges are golden and slightly charred.
Step 4: Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
Divide quinoa into serving bowls.
Top with roasted vegetables.
Drizzle with creamy dressing and sprinkle with fresh herbs or feta before serving.
To make dairy-free, use a plant-based yogurt or tahini sauce.
Store leftovers in airtight containers up to 4 days.
Great for meal prep — keep dressing separate until serving.
Add chickpeas, tofu, or grilled chicken for extra protein.
