Mediterranean Quinoa Breakfast Bowl with Hummus & Chickpeas

These days, I live for delicious breakfast moments. And this Mediterranean style bowl is my current favorite. The crunchy chickpeas add crunch, the creamy hummus adds richness, and the slow-roasted tomatoes give it a sweet, jammy flavor.

Quinoa provides a boost of plant-based protein and has a nutty texture that pairs perfectly with tender spinach and herbs. I love the fresh, bright feel of this bowl, thanks to the generous amount of mint and parsley, and the Everything Bagel seasoning that brings it all together. If you’ve been following this series, this is the third recipe in our Savory Breakfast Bowl lineup (don’t miss the Smoked Salmon Lox Bowl and the Greek Yogurt + Sweet Potato Bowl). And that may be what I crave the most.

How to make this Mediterranean bowl

Start with a base of warm quinoa. White or three colors both work well. You can cook them in bulk at the beginning of the week and keep them in the fridge for a quick breakfast or lunch, and if you want extra protein and flavor, you can cook them with bone broth instead of water.

Add a handful of baby spinach to one side of the bowl and a generous spoonful of creamy hummus to the other side. Scoop them and top with slow roasted tomatoes (I toss cherry tomatoes with garlic, olive oil, herbs, and salt and roast them slowly over low heat until they burst and become sweet like candy). Once you try it, you’ll want to keep a jar in your fridge at all times. Just like the one introduced here, it’s also delicious spread on toast or pizza.

Sprinkle with crunchy chickpeas (roasted yourself or buy store-bought), add fresh mint and parsley, a splash of olive oil, and a pinch of Everything Bagel Seasoning.

You can enjoy it warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
