Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa, rinsed

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 zucchini, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup spinach, roughly chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

½ avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast for topping

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

      Add Bell Pepper and Zucchini: Stir in the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

        Incorporate Cherry Tomatoes and Spinach: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir in the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

          Combine: Stir the cooked quinoa into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables until well combined and heated through.

            Serve: Divide the mixture into bowls. Top each serving with slices of avocado and sprinkle with cilantro or parsley. If desired, add crumbled feta cheese or nutritional yeast for extra flavor.
