Roasted Eggplant Quinoa

Quinoa with roasted eggplant, tomatoes, avocado and a sweet lemon vinaigrette.

When I need to throw together a yummy easy dinner, quinoa is always near the top of my list. I don’t have to worry about hitting all the food groups, one quinoa dish can cover it all. It’s packed with vitamins, nutrients, carbs, and protein and that’s before anything else is added to the dish. Once you throw in roasted eggplant, tomatoes, avocado and a skinny vinaigrette, you have a flavour-packed, healthy dinner that anyone can enjoy.

I love eggplant! Like seriously love eggplant. Whether it’s baked, barbecued, or roasted, I always love that deliciously creamy vegetable

Roasted Eggplant Quinoa embraces everything that makes this vegetable so truly tasty. It all starts with roasting the eggplant. With just a small amount of oil, salt and pepper, the eggplant becomes a lightly textured, warm and creamy treat.

When it’s combined with the rest of the ingredients, the eggplant just tastes better and better. Avocado amplifies the creamy flavour. Tomatoes add a juicy sweetness. And, as always, the quinoa adds a lovely nutty crunch. The flavours are finished off with a pop of zesty flavour, from the lemon vinaigrette.

With or without the dressing, Roasted Eggplant Quinoa is a quick and tasty meal.
