I love the taste of these roasted vegetables and quinoa topped with this delicious nutty ginger sauce! I'm often roasting vegetables, but this drool-worthy sauce takes it to a whole new level! In my picture, I have it on a plate, but feel free to put yours in a bowl! It's a great source of plant-based protein, healthy fat and fibre rich carbohydrates all in one recipe! I adapted this recipe from Hummusapien.
