Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked quinoa (rinsed)
- 3 cups vegetable stock
- 2 green bell peppers (seeded and diced)
- 10 ounces mushrooms (diced)
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives (pitted and chopped)
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly oil eight 8-ounce ramekins with canola oil or cooking spray and set on a baking tray.
- Prepare quinoa according to package using vegetable broth as the liquid. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- While quinoa is cooking, dice the peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce evenly throughout the bottoms of each ramekin*, then mix the pizza seasoning into the remaining sauce and add into the cooked quinoa. Stir until well-combined.
- Spread about 1/4 cup quinoa/marinara mix evenly over the bottom of each ramekin. Layer into each ramekin a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, then vegetables, and repeat until all the vegetables are used, finishing each ramekin with a final top layer of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Top with parmesan cheese and serve hot.
