Delicious Vegetarian Casserole Recipe for a Cozy Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 2 cups mixed bell peppers
  • 1 can chickpeas (drained)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup grated cheese (optional)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Ensure the oven is fully heated before placing the casserole inside.
  2. Sauté the vegetables

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery and sauté until softened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add bell peppers and chickpeas

    Add the mixed bell peppers and chickpeas to the pan, stirring well to combine.

    Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender.
  4. Combine quinoa and broth

    In a separate bowl, combine the quinoa, vegetable broth, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.

    Make sure the quinoa is well rinsed before adding.
  5. Mix and transfer

    Combine the sautéed vegetables with the quinoa mixture and stir well. Transfer to a baking dish.

    Spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
  6. Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

    Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes if you want a crispy top.
  7. Serve

    Let it cool slightly before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with grated cheese.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
