1) Dice up all vegetables and put in large plastic bag.
2) Cook the quinoa and egg whites.
3) Add 3 tbsp lemon juice, coconut oil, all spices, toss in bag until mixed.
4) Place in large glass baking dish and roast uncovered in 425, I turned them about every 20 minutes, it took about an hour, cook them until all are tender. Once veggies are done combine into a large bowl, add olive oil, zest of lemon juice, chives, salt/pepper, and apples, (I warmed chopped apples in oven first).
