Step-by-Step Instructions
- Rinse quinoa under cold water to remove any bitter saponins. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1½ cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until water is absorbed. Let it steam covered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a large sheet pan, arrange roughly chopped red peppers, sliced onion, and drained chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Roast the vegetables and chickpeas for about 25-30 minutes until charred and crispy, stirring halfway through.
- In a small jar or bowl, prepare the dressing by combining fresh lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well until fully combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa with the roasted vegetables and chickpeas. Add chopped fresh dill and parsley, drizzle in half of the prepared dressing, and toss gently to combine.
- Serve warm or allow to cool and enjoy chilled. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes
Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting for the best crunch. Adjust sweetness in dressing to taste.
