Ingredients
- 2 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 2 yellow squash, sliced into rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, red onion, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture onto the skewers.
Grill the skewers for 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze is thickened and syrupy.
In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and fluffy.
To serve, place a scoop of quinoa on each plate and top with the grilled vegetable skewers. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the skewers, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
