Ingredients
9 cups
Bok Choy, roughly chopped
(908 g)
3 cups
Carrots, sliced ¼-inch thick on the diagonal
(454 g)
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Oil a heavy oven-proof skillet or large 15-inch cast iron skillet with sesame oil and add bok choy, carrots, peppers and about two thirds of the sliced scallions.
Next, add the grated ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil and chili paste to the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
Roast for 30 minutes, then stir and roast for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until most of the vegetables are crisp-tender and slightly browned, and the carrots are tender when pierced with a knife.
During the last 30 minutes of baking, prepare quinoa by bringing water to a boil over high heat. Add quinoa, stir, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes, or until cooked.
Serve roasted vegetables over quinoa, or stir quinoa into the roasted vegetables to soak up all the sweet-spicy juices in the roasting pan. Garnish with remaining scallions.
*If using soy sauce, add 1 Tbsp brown sugar to the sauce mixture.
