Rinse the quinoa under cold water, then combine it with two cups of water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover until fluffy, about 15 minutes.

While the quinoa cooks, wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the vegetables and stir occasionally until they start to soften.

Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs and spices. Combine the quinoa into the skillet and stir everything together for about 5 minutes.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of more olive oil if desired.
