This is a go-to type of recipe I use a lot. The seasonings are pretty great and can be used for sweet potato fries and a fish marinade too. You can vary this recipe by adding your favorite grain, or bean! You can also use whichever herb you enjoy.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon sea salt

1 zucchini, cubed
2 cups water
1 cup quinoa
2 cups chopped lacinato kale
2 cups chopped Italian parsley
