              •  Scallion- 1 medium size


          


Instructions

     
      Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Start cooking your quinoa. I invested in a rice cooker that has saved my life. I highly recommend it! Bring two cups of water to boil, add quinoa and scallion cover and bring to simmer. I usually add scallions to any of my rice-like meals to give the quinoa, farro, or rice some flavor while it cooks.

Cut pearl onions in half, tempeh in cubes, and slice mushrooms.

In a nonstick pan add 1/8 cup of water, minced garlic, and pearl onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until much of the water has evaporated.

Spray baking sheet lightly with coconut oil. Add tempeh, mushrooms, and pearl onions, and garlic to baking sheet. Sprinkle paprika on tempeh and thyme on mushrooms. Roast veggies for 15- 20 mins.

** I love crunchy tempeh so after 15 mins I removed all other veggies except for the tempeh and let it roast for an additional 10 mins. This will change depending on your preference.

Once quinoa is ready remove scallion then combine with mushrooms, tempeh, and pearl onions.  I made a quick guacamole and chopped up lettuce and baby tomatoes to go with the meal.  Please let me know how it goes if you try it or if you want to know how I make quick and dirty guacamole. Enjoy!!
