A vibrant and nourishing quinoa bowl with bell peppers, spinach, and black beans, flavored with cumin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of diced bell peppers (varied colors)
  • 1 cup of chopped spinach
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and combine it with vegetable broth in a saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in the black beans, cumin, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
  5. Once the quinoa is fluffy, add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Gently fold in the chopped spinach until wilted.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro for that pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or use a different type of bean. This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge.
