Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup Edamame
  • 1/4 cup butternut squash
  • 1/4 cup Chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup snap peas steamed
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Cook quinoa on stovetop. When cooking quinoa use a 2:1 ratio of liquid to quinoa. So if cooking 1 cup of quinoa use 2 cups of liquid. Place the quinoa and liquid into a pot and place on stove, bring to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes or until quinoa is soft.
  • Add frozen edamame to a pot of boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • For butternut squash, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 25-30 minutes or until squash is tender.
  • Rinse and drain chickpeas and set aside.
  • Steam snap peas and set aside.
  • Once all components are cooked, combine everything in a mixing bowl and add your favorite sauce. This dish works well with a Thai peanut sauce or Peanut Vinaigrette.
