Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, combine quinoa, veggie stock concentrate and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas. Pat dry with a towel. Peel and cut red onion into 1/2-inch wedges. On the prepared baking sheet, toss chickpeas and onion with 1 teaspoon cooking oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until chickpeas are crispy and onion is caramelized.
- While roasting, prepare the cucumber tomato salad: dice mini cucumber and halve grape tomatoes. In a small bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, half the Greek vinaigrette and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a separate small bowl, mix hummus with harissa powder until well combined. Set aside.
- Finely chop dill leaves, discarding stems.
- To assemble bowls: divide quinoa among serving bowls. Top with roasted chickpeas and onions, cucumber tomato salad, a dollop of harissa hummus and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle remaining Greek vinaigrette over everything and garnish with chopped dill.
Recipe Tips
For extra crispy chickpeas, make sure they are thoroughly dried before roasting.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use less harissa powder or omit it entirely.
The quinoa can be cooked ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve.
