Roasted Vegetable Grain Bowls
It’s been a while since I burnt something. And when I say burnt something, I mean bad. Like the point where it is crusted on the pan!
I guess I was due. So what happened?
Well, it was the second meal I’ve cooked in the new house and the first time using my new oven. Everything was going great! The veggies were roasting and filling the house with amazing smells, the quinoa was on the stove simmering away, and the tzatziki sauce was made.
I set my timer and ran upstairs to play legos with Cason. I started rebuilding one of his sets, because of course all the sets that I built about a month ago were destroyed in the move so it’s back to square one. Then my timer went off. The veggies were done. Woohoo! I pulled them out to cool down and ran back upstairs to finish the set.
Once I finish, I started walking back down the stairs to take photos of this amazing dish you’re looking at now and …
CRAP!!!
I forgot that the quinoa was still simmering! My nonchalant walk down the stairs turned to a run and as I popped the top off the pot I smelt it. Burnt quinoa on the bottom of the pan. Ughhh….
I haven’t done that in a long long time.
Luckily I could salvage some of it, basically the top part, for dinner. Woohoo!
I was just glad I didn’t have to throw it all out.
Why I Love This Vegetable Dinner Recipe
These Roasted Vegetable Grain Bowls are a delicious take on my Moroccan Cauliflower Chickpea Pitas. I added a few more vegetables and changed up the seasoning a bit then got rid of the flatbread.
Grain Bowls are the craze lately and these are definitely a winner. The spice blend of these veggies will rock your socks off, there is a definitely a surprise spice that you wouldn’t normally think to add to veggies. But it turned out to be the secret weapon that took these veggies to the top! Plus the tzatziki sauce of course, but tzatziki sauce just makes everything better! Am I right?
Bon Appetit ya’ll!
