Roasted Beet & Cauliflower Quinoa Bowl

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Salads
The magic of roasted vegetables lies in the Maillard reaction: cauliflower's sulfurous compounds tame into sweet nuttiness in the oven, and beet sugars caramelize. This bowl isn't a boring salad, but a concentration of roasted flavors, completed by quinoa's neutrality and lime's sharp acidity.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse quinoa in hot water, then cook in salted water for 15 minutes.

Tip: Thorough rinsing removes bitter compounds.
2 ✓

Peel beet and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Break cauliflower into small florets.

Tip: Similar sized pieces ensure even roasting.
3 ✓

Place vegetables on a parchment-lined baking sheet (preferably in separate lanes). Drizzle with 2/3 of the oil, salt, pepper, and toss.

Tip: Don't overcrowd; allow room for hot air so they roast, not steam.
4 ✓

Roast vegetables for 25-30 minutes until cauliflower edges brown and beet is tender.

Tip: Toss halfway through.
5 ✓

In the last 5 minutes, toss almonds onto the sheet to toast.

Tip: Almond oil heats up fast, watch out for burning!
6 ✓

To serve, pile quinoa in bowl, top with roasted veggies and almonds. Squeeze lime over top and drizzle with remaining oil.

Tip: Acidity (lime) highlights roasted vegetable sweetness.

Recipe FAQ

Can I roast beets and cauliflower together?
Yes, but beets usually take a bit longer if cut thick. Cut beets thinner and cauliflower larger so they finish together.
Why did everything turn purple?
Beet juice dyes everything (betacyanin). If you don't want pink cauliflower, keep them separate on the pan and in the bowl.
