Sunday Night (Gluten Free) Garlic Quinoa with Roasted Veggies

Quinoa is getting very popular these days (trendy recipe # 2 for the week after the kale!), probably because it's the only grain with all essential amino acids and it's gluten free! This dish is super healthy, low in calories, and full of flavor. No vampires will be attacking my apartment tonight! Serves 4
