Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until quinoa is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Stir in diced bell pepper, zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Add cooked quinoa to the skillet, mixing well with the vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.
  6. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  7. Garnish the Quinoa and Vegetable Skillet with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of citrusy freshness.
