Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, add minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables for about 20-25 minutes or until they're tender and slightly caramelized.
In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables.
