Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups Spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Basil
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the zucchini and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil to the bowl. Toss the vegetables to coat them evenly.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly golden brown.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, mince the garlic cloves.

Step 6

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 8

Add the roasted vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and spinach to the skillet with the cauliflower rice. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the feta cheese.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve the Keto Quinoa with Roasted Vegetables warm.
