Often times I forget about quinoa. I’m not really sure why, because I love it… it’s a nice alternative to rice, and when paired with veggies, like in this recipe- it creeps right up there on my list of favoriteĀ grains. I actually made this last weekend and I’m still thinking about how scrumptious this meal was.
So what all is in this bowl that makes it that yummy, you ask? Well, this version features my zucchini + mint falafel, really those tasty little gems might steal the spotlight in this recipe, but I think this bowl would be equally delicious without. But if you haven’t tried them, you really gotta. So, we have quinoa, falafel, baby portabella mushrooms, red + yellow + orange baby bell peppers, avocado, zucchini, arugula, and a drizzle of garlic tahini sauce. I added a squeeze of fresh lime juice for just a little zing and I would highly recommend that too. I mean, by now your mouth has to be watering- because I know mine is! To make this meal even quicker and easier, I baked the veggies all on one sheet and popped those in the oven slightly after I put the falafel in. Mmm Yum! Alright, Y’all… you’ll have to excuse me, I gots to go make this…

My wife is so gonna love me for making her these bowls, she has been asking me to make her more quinoa, as she loves it too, but seems to forget about it? oh well, these bowls sounds delicious, specially those zucchini mint falafel
Thanks for your comment Albert! I hope you love them, they really are delicious and love the quinoa in there! As you read, I also forget about it. Would love to hear how you like them! š
For how many bowls is it?
Sorry about that! When I switched over to my new recipe cards the serving size didn’t transfer over. It makes 2 large bowls.
The link for your recipe for the zucchini mint falafels does not work. I would love to make them. Thanks!
So sorry! Let me check on that and get it fixed!
