This Vegetarian Quinoa Bake is perfect for summer because it’s light and filling at the same time. It can be served as a main or side dish and tastes delicious hot or just slightly warm. It’s also perfect for taking to work in a container as a healthy lunch.

I love recipes where I can adjust the ingredients depending on what I currently have on hand.

In this recipe, you can substitute quinoa with any other healthy grain such as wild rice, black rice or buckwheat. You can also use different variations of vegetables. For example, use only cauliflower or only zucchini, or replace the cauliflower with broccoli.

You can also use different spices depending on your taste. And don’t forget to garnish your vegetarian quinoa bake with fresh herbs.

This recipe yields quite a lot of food. I usually pack individual portions into glass containers right away so we can either grab it to go or serve at home. I think it would also be fine to freeze it, although I haven’t tried it myself.

Enjoy!
