Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 200 °C (convection if you can).

  2. Cut the vegetables

    Peel and cut the eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers into 2 cm cubes. Put them in the mixing bowl.

  3. Season the vegetables

    Add 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt and pepper to the vegetables. Mix well to coat them.

    Tip · To keep the vegetables from sticking to the sheet, oil it lightly before spreading out the cubes.

  4. Spread on the baking sheet

    Spread the vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding them.

  5. Roast the vegetables

    Put the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25 min, turning the vegetables halfway through.

  6. Cook the quinoa

    Meanwhile, bring 300 ml of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the quinoa, cover and cook for 15 min over low heat. Turn off the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 min.

  7. Prep the feta

    Crumble half the feta (40 g) into a bowl. Set the rest aside.

    Tip · If you want a creamier dish, lightly mash some of the cooked quinoa before mixing everything.

  8. Mix it all together

    In a large mixing bowl, mix the drained quinoa, roasted vegetables, crumbled feta, olives and sliced basil. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil.
