Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and the broth is absorbed.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butternut squash, red onion, and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables and chickpeas evenly.

  4. Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

  6. Once the vegetables are roasted, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

  7. In a serving dish, combine the cooked quinoa with the roasted butternut squash, red onion, and chickpeas mixture.

  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired.

  9. Serve warm as a hearty vegetarian main dish or a flavorful side to complement your holiday feast.
