Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small red onion, sliced into rings

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Optional: Feta cheese or avocado slices for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Prep the Vegetables: While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and corn. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Grill the Veggies: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the vegetable mixture in a grill basket or directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have nice grill marks.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start by adding a generous scoop of quinoa as the base. Top with the grilled vegetables, allowing their vibrant colors to shine.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and add optional toppings like crumbled feta cheese or avocado slices for added creaminess. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve warm as a vibrant meal or chill for a refreshing lunch option.
