Directions

  1. Toss beets and squash in oil and season with salt and pepper, cook in the oven at 400 until soft and golden brown.
  2. Bring quinoa and 2 cups of water to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes until quinoa is soft and all the liquid is absorbed.

  4. Once the quinoa is cool, and the beets and squash are too, toss all the ingredients together.
