Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cook the quinoa as per packet instructions.

Chop the pumpkin and sweet potato into small pieces (around 2cm x 2cm). Chop the red onion and capsicums into similar sized pieces. Pop the sweet potato and pumpkin onto one baking tray and the capsicums and red onions on another baking tray.

Sprinkle the spice mix over the veggies and drizzle over a generous amount of olive oil. Pop in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes until everything has cooked.

In the meantime, in a large bowl combine the quinoa, lemon juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, feta, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Once the veggies have cooked toss them through the quinoa mixture.

Once you’re ready to serve, add the microgreens and dukkah and toss to combine.
