Preparation

Step 1

Prepare quinoa according to package directions. Drain. Rinse with cold water if not serving immediately. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, chili powder, cayenne (if using) and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add garbanzo beans and stir to combine. Spread coated garbanzo beans on a baking sheet and roast for 25-35 minutes, until the beans are golden and crunchy. Remove from oven and let cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano. Add the quinoa and garbanzo beans and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently fold in the goat cheese. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature
