Vegan Vodka Quinoa & Broccoli Bake

Any vegetable can be used in this comforting baked dish. Serve with a side salad and you have a hearty weeknight meal in no time.

Serves 4

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 16 oz Jar Goods Vegan Vodka Sauce
• 2 ½ cups fresh broccoli florets
• ½ yellow pepper diced
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
• ½ - ¾ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 scallions diced for topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8 baking dish with olive oil. Cut the broccoli florets from the stem into bite sized pieces. Steam broccoli florets for 5- 6 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the first five ingredients and toss to mix well. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread evenly into prepared baking dish. Top with panko bread crumbs and red pepper flakes. Baked for 10 - 15 minutes until broccoli is tender and mixture begins to bubble. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 or so minutes to allow all flavors to come together. Top with sliced scallions. Keep extra red pepper flakes for those that like a little extra heat.
