Start by washing the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove the bitter outer coating.
In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add in the quinoa and turmeric powder.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water and becomes fluffy.
While the Turmeric Quinoa is cooking, grab a skillet and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Toss in the red onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
Next up, add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and carrots. Cook for another 7-8 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet.
Season the Turmeric Quinoa with Veggies mixture with salt and black pepper. Give everything a good stir.
Finish by sprinkling the chopped cilantro on top.
