Quinoa Broccoli Bowls with Roasted Beets

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Keep beet colors separate for roasting. Cut four 12-inch pieces of foil. In a medium bowl toss yellow beets with 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer beets to one piece of foil; top with second piece of foil and fold edges together to create a packet. Repeat with red beets, placing them in a separate packet. (If using one color of beet, cut two 24-inch pieces of foil.) Place packets on a baking sheet. Roast 50 to 60 minutes or until very tender. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack about 15 minutes. Chill beets until ready to serve.
2. Meanwhile, place broccoli in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan to just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. Chill until ready to serve.
3. For dressing, in a large bowl whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the orange zest, orange juice, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Add chilled roasted beets and broccoli. Toss to combine.
4. To assemble bowls, divide cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Spoon broccoli mixture over quinoa. Drizzle any leftover dressing over top. Garnish with avocado slices.
