Easiest One Pot Vegan Quinoa - Ready in under 30 minutes, healthy, hearty and full of flavor. #healthy #vegetarian #quinoa #vegan #onepot #hearty #simple #quick #recipes

Greetings. One may have concluded that I had died with my two month absence from blogging, but I am here to disappoint by letting you know that I am, unfortunately, alive! Amongst all the crazy of my life I couldn’t find any time to cook let alone blog (I was also hella lazy), but I’m finally back! To kick the post-mortem blogging into gear, I have a One Pot Vegan Quinoa recipe to share with you guys. If you’re a frequent reader, you’ll know how lazy I am – so One Pot Dishes are the way to go in my household of one. I hate washing up and I hate having a million things happening at once, so this Vegan One Pot Quinoa dish is a godsend.

What’s great about this Vegan One Pot Quinoa is that it comes together in under 30 minutes, and makes enough for 4 meals – leftovers for days! It’s very hearty and filling, and packs a mean protein punch. I start off by lightly frying off some White Onion, Sweet Potato and Red Bell Pepper until soft. I then add in drained Chickpeas, Sun Dried Tomato, sliced Green Olives, Vegetable Broth, White Quinoa and Water to the pot. Everything is left to simmer gently until the liquids have been absorbed, and this nommy Vegan Quinoa is finally crowned with some Cherry Tomatoes, Baby Spinach and chopped Cilantro. Couldn’t be simpler than that my bruhs.

I don’t really need to say anymore because I’ll just let the recipe (and the final product) do the talking, but this Vegan One Pot Quinoa is definitely one to add to the weekly recipe repetoire. It is super easy to make, heart healthy, gluten free, super stick to your ribs  (TRUST ME, I’M STUFFED after even half a portion) and just an overall healthy meal that everyone can enjoy – carnivores included. Scroll down for the full recipe and here’s to hoping I start regularly blogging again! Cheeeeeeers!

      This recipe is very great! Thanks a million for sharing it! I am making it at least couple of times a month. Today I'm going to double the recipe, and I hope everything will work out as well as it does with the original and I'll be able to impress a group of meat-eaters (yeah, I know) that are coming for dinner. Cheers!

        Hi Ieva! Yay, so happy you've enjoyed the recipe. It's one of my favourites as well. Sometimes I replace the Quinoa and cook it with Rice - amazing!

      What are the Dried Mixed herbs? I'm not familiar with that spice blend.

        Hey Kay, over here it is just a bunch of Italian herbs mixed up. Parsley, Oregano etc. Feel free to substitute with whatever you like :)
