2. While vegetables roast, simmer quinoa in vegetable broth. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

4. Combine warm quinoa and roasted vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and garnish with fresh parsley.

Stewart's Secret

For the fluffiest grains, let the cooked quinoa sit covered off the heat for five minutes before fluffing. This allows the steam to finish the grains perfectly.
