  3. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway, until the eggplant is soft and browned and the beans are crisp at the edges.
  4. While the vegetables roast, bring the quinoa and 480 g of the water to a boil in a pot, cover, simmer on low for 15 minutes, then rest off the heat for 5 minutes and fluff with a fork.

  6. Divide the quinoa among 4 bowls and top with the roasted eggplant mixture, cherry tomatoes and cucumber.
