Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Spread zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
