A protein-rich quinoa side dish becomes even healthier, tastier, and juicier when paired with baked zucchini with garlic. The zucchini is thinly sliced and baked in the oven, then combined with cooked, spiced quinoa, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Add a few golden raisins to the side dish for a unique, multifaceted flavor. Serve as a side dish with meat or as a standalone vegetarian dish.
