Okay, sooo this is a SPICY one, I used jalapeños to infuse the quinoa and make this bowl spicy!
In the recipe notes I noted that you can use 1-3 jalapeños in this recipe because the term spicy is very different for everyone so it like comparing salsa mild-medium-hot is just like 1-2-or 3 jalapeños!
Also to give the quinoa even more flavor I cooked it in low sodium vegetable broth, I got mine from Trader Joe's but I’m sure you can get low sodium and different places as well, low sodium is not totally necessary but I don’t like all the extra un-necessary salt!
I can’t forget to talk about the dressing! Honestly it tastes great even without the dressing, it has plenty of flavor but I know we all love the little extra sauce 😉 so it’s a spicy veganaise based dressing that just brings this bowl over the top YUM!

Easy Spicy Quinoa Bowl! 10 ingredients and super easy!
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 20 mins
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 2 1x
- Category: lunch/dinner
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry mixed color quinoa
- 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1-3 jalapeños (see notes)
- 1 cup corn (I used from a can)
- 1 ½ cups fresh broccoli chopped really small
- DRESSING:
- 2 TBSP veganaise
- ¼ tsp onion power
- ⅛ tsp cayenne powder
- Pinch of black pepper
- About 1 TBSP fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- In a pot add your quinoa (quinoa should be rinsed and drained before cooking) and your jalapeño’s (sliced and de-seeded) and add the vegetable broth.
- Let that come to a boil and then cover and let continue cooking on low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed (about 15-20 minutes).
- While it is cooking chop your broccoli and make the dressing, for the dressing add everything into a bowl and stir it up!
- Once quinoa is almost done and 97% of the liquid is absorbed then add the corn and broccoli and continue to cook with lid on for another 5 minutes.
- Once done cooking remove the jalapeno pieces and scoop into a bowl and drizzle dressing over the top!
- Serves 2-4
Notes
My quinoa said to cook 1 cup dry quinoa to two cups liquid (vegetable broth in this case), read your package instructions and cook according to what your package says, using the veggie broth as the liquid.
I usually only use 1 jalapeno but depending on how spicy you like it you may want to add up to 3, I would say it’s a comparison to salsa (mild, medium and hot) if you use 1, 2 or 3 jalapeños.
easy + spicy + totallyyy YUM!
