Method
Vegetables
Prepare the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim the woody ends.
Season the Asparagus
In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the Asparagus
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
Add Lemon
Remove the asparagus from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
Grains
Rinse the Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove bitterness.
Cook the Quinoa
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Simmer the Quinoa
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
