    Add flour, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper to oven bag; gently squeeze bag to blend ingredients. Add quinoa and vegetables; turn bag several times to mix ingredients. Arrange ingredients in even layer in bag. Fold down bag opening two times to hold bag open; set aside.

    Microwave vegetable stock in a medium microwave-safe bowl for about 4 minutes on high power until stock is very hot. Carefully pour or ladle stock over vegetables. Carefully unfold bag opening.

    Close bag with nylon tie. Cut six 1/2-inch slits in top of bag near tie. Tuck ends of bag in pan.
  • 5
    Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender and quinoa is soft and translucent. Let stand 5 minutes. Carefully cut top of bag open; stir. Top with fresh herbs and pine nuts, if desired. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

    Reynolds® Oven Bag Tips: • To toast pine nuts, place in a dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Remove quickly from heat when browned, as they will burn easily.
