Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting.

- Cook Quinoa: While the vegetables are roasting, prepare 1 cup of quinoa according to the package instructions, typically by boiling in water until fluffy and tender.
- Sauté Greens: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the chopped kale or spinach for 1-2 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant green.
