Herbed Quinoa Salad with Roasted Vegetables (Vegan)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 small eggplant, diced
• 2 zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 small red onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Toss the diced eggplant, zucchinis, bell peppers, red onion, and garlic with olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
