Step 1
Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water, then combine with 2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed and quinoa is fluffy, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While quinoa cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups broccoli florets and 8 oz sliced mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is bright green and mushrooms are golden, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly.
Step 4
Fluff the cooked quinoa with a fork and divide between two bowls. Top with the vegetable mixture, drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and microgreens if desired.
