A super easy, hearty, vegetarian dish to serve this fall! For variation use butternut squash in place of carrots.
3 large carrots, peeled & diced
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 cup lentils, rinsed
1 large onion, chopped
olive oil
salt
3 cups vegetable stock or water
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In an oven proof casserole dish mix carrots, lentils, and quinoa together. Toss with about 3 tbsp olive oil or enough to coat everything. Put mixture in the oven to roast, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring once during that time. Roast longer if needed; mixture should be sizzling and carrots should be somewhat browned. While the mixture is roasting, saute chopped onions in 1-2 tbsp olive oil until slightly caramelized. Add vegetable stock or water to onion pan to heat and deglaze the yummy caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. When stock is heated and carrot/lentil/quinoa mixture is roasted, pour stock into casserole dish. Bake for another 20-30 minutes or until quinoa and lentils are cooked through and moisture is absorbed. Enjoy with a vegetarian gravy or by itself!
