Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced red onion, and 1 cup diced zucchini on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1 tsp dried oregano, and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, cook 1 cup quinoa in 2 cups water according to package instructions (typically 15 minutes on medium heat, then rest 5 minutes covered). Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the cooled quinoa, roasted vegetables, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently until evenly distributed and flavors meld.
