Quinoa and Roasted Vegetable Canapés
Quinoa and Roasted Vegetable Canapés are a delicious and healthy appetizer that will impress your guests. These canapés are made with quinoa, roasted vegetables, and a creamy avocado spread. The combination of flavors and textures is simply irresistible.
To make these canapés, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 slice of bread
- 1/4 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup roasted vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant)
- 1 tablespoon avocado spread (made with mashed avocado, lemon juice, and salt)
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut your vegetables into small pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables are roasting, cook your quinoa according to the package instructions. Once it's done, fluff it with a fork and set it aside.
Next, cut your bread into small rounds or squares. Toast them in the oven or on a grill until they are crispy and golden brown.
To assemble the canapés, spread a generous amount of avocado spread on each piece of toast. Top with a spoonful of quinoa and a few pieces of roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
