This is my go-to lunch option when I don’t have much time to meal prep. It’s an easy one sheet pan recipe & I cheat and use already prepared quinoa from Costco (Seeds of Change Quinoa & Brown Rice packets). I find this meal super filling & flavorful. I usually get about three 8 oz. glass tupperware containers worth of food from this one recipe. Three days worth of lunches!! I also make a greek yogurt & cilantro dip to go with veggies- so delicious!
You can always switch up the spices used in this recipe. Sometimes I use chili powder, onion powder or a pinch of garlic salt. Experiment & see what works best for you.
