Meal prep does not have to be complicated to be good. I find that when I set aside a little time on Sunday to roast some vegetables and cook a big batch of grains, my whole week feels much calmer. It keeps me from grazing on random snacks when I get busy.

These bowls are a great base because you can change the dressing or add extra protein to keep things interesting. I like to keep the roasted veggies and quinoa in separate containers until I am ready to eat so everything stays nice and fresh.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • Lemon tahini dressing for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the chopped peppers, broccoli, and red onion on a large baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until well coated.

  4. 4

    Roast the vegetables in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes until they are tender and slightly browned.

  5. 5

    While the vegetables roast, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

  6. 6

    Let the quinoa cool slightly before fluffing it with a fork.

  7. 7

    Divide the quinoa and roasted vegetables into four airtight containers. Add a portion of chickpeas to each container.

  8. 8

    Store in the refrigerator and drizzle with lemon tahini dressing right before you serve.

💡 Tips

You can store these in the fridge for up to four days. If you want a bit more protein, feel free to add grilled chicken or tofu. Always store your dressing in a small separate container so your greens or veggies do not get soggy.
