Step 1

Preheat oven to 200°C (400F) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Add everything to the baking sheet and mix well to coat. Lay zucchini slices in a single layer. Roast for about 30-40 min till the tops begin to crisp. Remove.

Step 2

For the quinoa:

Step 3

1 cup red quinoa (or which ever you like)

Step 4

1 Tbsp olive oil

Step 5

Rinse quinoa very very well, running between your hands. This will prevent the quinoa from tasting bitter! Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add oil and quinoa to the water. Stir. Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 18 minutes. Shut off the flame and keep covered for another 5 min. Open and fluff.
