Quinoa Tabouli
with Roasted Vegetables & Tzatziki
Sumac is a crimson-colored berry that is dried, ground to a powder, and used as a spice in many Middle Eastern cuisines. It adds a tart, floral flavor to this herby, veggie-packed grain salad. Chickpeas and fluffy white quinoa boost the protein and fiber for a hearty, filling dinner.
INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine chickpeas, sumac, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet and roast until crispy, about 18 to 20 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp olive oil)
Combine quinoa, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until spirals burst and water is absorbed, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to large bowl to cool slightly. (4-serving meal: use 2½ cups water)
