How to Prepare Quinoa With Roasted Root Veggies and Currants [Vegan]

Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large bowl and stir until veggies are well coated. Place broth in a large casserole dish, then spread veggies along the bottom. Bake covered at 400 degrees F, for about 45 minutes, until butternut is tender. Stir occasionally.
Meanwhile, bring water, quinoa, and pinch of salt to a boil in medium saucepan. Simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and place in a large bowl. When veggies are done, add to the bowl and stir in with quinoa. Season more if needed and toss in parsley.
