Ingredients:  
3 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved
salt and pepper
3/4 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º F
Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 min. Add 1 cup water, the quinoa, chicken broth, tomatoes, 1/4 tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper; bring to a simmer, stirring. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and cook until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, 12-15 mins. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and parsley. Cover to keep warm. Meanwhile, toss the remaining vegetables with the remaining 2 Tbsps olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until the vegetables start browning about 18-20 mins. Let cool slightly. Serve the quinoa topped with the vegetables and more cheese.
