Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa

2 cups vegetable broth

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 avocado, diced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

Instructions
 

Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove any bitterness. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

    While the quinoa cooks, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and corn with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.

      Grill the vegetable mixture for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.

        To assemble the bowl, grab a serving dish or bowl and layer the quinoa at the bottom. Top with the grilled veggies and add diced avocado and chopped cilantro.

          Finally, drizzle fresh lime juice over the entire bowl for added brightness and flavor.

            Serve immediately and enjoy your perfect lunch or dinner!
