Ingredients
2 large russet potatoes4 medium red beets1/2 cup (dry measure) quinoa1/2 cup choped cauliflower1/4 cup edamame3/4 cup yellow onion2 Tbs dry miso powder1 tsp vegetable oil2 cups water for cooking quinoa
Directions
Makes 9 3/4-cup servings

Chop veggies keeping beets separate. Boil water and steam beets until beginning to soften. Add other veggies and continue to steam until just tender.
Drain and set aside.
Using remaining liquid from steaming veggies, add miso powder and rinsed quinoa. Simmer in covered pot for about 20 minutes until quinoa is cooked tender (like rice).
Place veggies in square baking pan and drizzle oil on top stirring gently. When coated, spoon quinoa on top, patting down smooth to make "crust" on top.
Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes checking about 1/2 way through to ensure top is not too dry. If quinoa begins to dry out, cover top with tin foil and complete baking.

*You can add a dash of salt to the cooked veggies before topping with quinoa, but I found the miso powder to add enough saltiness.
