To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup of quinoa
- 2 cups of water
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 eggplant, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the falafel mixture. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Add the flour and pulse again until the mixture comes together.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the falafel balls and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the falafel balls are cooking, prepare the roasted vegetables. Spread the sliced peppers, zucchini, and eggplant on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
To assemble the bowls, divide the quinoa among four bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables and falafel balls. Serve immediately.
These Falafel and Roasted Vegetable Bowls are a perfect combination of healthy and delicious. The crispy falafel balls and tender roasted vegetables are perfectly balanced by the fluffy quinoa. The dish is packed with flavor and nutrients, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a healthy and satisfying meal.
