Step-by-Step Instructions for Quinoa Veggie Bowl

  2. Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add veggies and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Sprinkle garlic powder and cumin over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Fold in the sautéed veggies.

  6. Serve in portions, garnishing with sliced avocado and crumbled feta cheese.
