- 2 tbsp grapeseed or coconut oil

- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cook the quinoa with the water and veggie stock if you wish.
- Add lemon juice salt and pepper once it's cooked.
- Add fresh parsley.
- In the meantime cut the squash into small cubes.
- Mix with herbs and oil on a baking tray and roast them for about 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 Celsius.
- Once the squash is ready mix it with the quinoa.
- Version 1: add black and white sesame seeds
- Version 2: toasts some walnuts together with the squash when it's almost ready. Add the dried cranberries to the mix.
Simple, nutritious. Serve it warm or cold. Packed with plant protein goodness.
