Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- Roast the veggies until they’re caramelized—it’s where the flavor magic happens.
- Make extra tahini dressing—it’s like liquid gold for leftovers.
- Customize the toppings to suit your vibe. No olives? No problem. More avocado? Always.
DON’T:
- Forget to rinse the quinoa. Saponins are bitter little party crashers.
- Skip the dressing—it’s the glue that ties this bowl of happiness together.
- Overcrowd the veggies on the baking sheet—they need their personal space to roast, not steam.
Optional Add-Ins and Variations:
- Protein Boost: Add grilled chicken, chickpeas, or falafel for extra heft.
- Spicy Twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle with harissa for some heat.
- Nutty Crunch: Toss in toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds for texture.
Mediterranean Grain Bowls are vibrant, nutritious, and endlessly customizable. It’s like taking your taste buds on a Mediterranean cruise—without the seasickness.
