5 cups Broccoli Florets (coarsely Chopped)
2 whole Medium Yellow Summer Squash ( Thinly Sliced And Quartered)
1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Directions

1

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2

2. In a large bowl (I use a large Tupperware container with a lid) combine the cauliflower, broccoli, squash, 1/2 tablespoon oil, Italian seasoning, garlic salt and pepper. Mix by hand (or shake the sealed container) until all the vegetables are thoroughly coated.
3

3. Spread in a single layer onto two foil lined, greased rimmed baking sheets.
4

4. Roast for 25 minutes. (If you haven't already cooked the quinoa, now would be a good time.)
5

5. As the vegetables are roasting, start heating up 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan.
6

6. Keeping the heat between low and medium (my dial was set between 3-4) add the diced garlic, onion and garlic salt. Cover but stir periodically, making sure the onion and garlic doesn't begin to burn.
7

7. Once the garlic and onions have softened, turn the heat down to low and stir in the cooked quinoa along with the first amount of Parmesan and basil.
8

8. By now, the vegetables should be done roasting. Once you pull them out, gently toss the vegetables with the quinoa and remaining Parmesan. Serve immediately.

9. I usually serve this as a side dish with chicken or fish. Enjoy.
