Instructions
1. Prep the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until fluffy. Set aside.
2. Fire Up the Grill: Preheat your Monument Grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Its precise temperature control ensures perfectly grilled veggies every time.

4. Grill Time: Place veggies on the grill grates (use a grill basket for smaller pieces). Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until tender with nice char marks. Remove and set aside.
5. Assemble the Bowl: Divide quinoa among four bowls. Top with grilled veggies and avocado slices. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with parsley for a fresh finish.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Pair with a chilled iced tea or sparkling water for a complete, healthy meal
