Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Quinoa

I've been in love with quinoa lately! Cute, easy and quick to cook, goes well with both savory and sweeter flavors! Not to mention, it's super healthy and can be a nice alternative to rice. I tried mixing it with roasted winter squashes and pumpkin and loved how it turned out! Here's the recipe :)
This works as breakfast or lunch.
