Sweet Corn & Scallion Quinoa Recipe

Fall in love February is all about loving yourself and treating yourself (and others!) well. This recipe is not only delicious, but also healthy because you deserve to be healthy!!

 

 

Roasted Sweet Corn & Scallion Quinoa

Yields about 2 servings

You will need:

-1/2 c dry quinoa
-1 cup roasted sweet corn (I buy it frozen from Trader Joes or you can roast your own corn)
-2 tbsp butter (to make it vegan, I like to use Earth Balance)
-1/2 tbsp crushed garlic
-2 scallions chopped
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-Salt & pepper to taste

The How-To:

Cook the quinoa according to the packages directions. In a saute pan, melt butter then add garlic and corn. Saute until warm then add scallions, lemon juice, and salt and pepper, remove from heat. Once quinoa is done, add corn scallion mixture and combine.


Note: I also steamed some broccoli to eat alongside, but that's completely optional. You could sub the broccoli with your favorite veggies.
