Quinoa, Chickpea, and Spinach Salad with Smoked Paprika Dressing
I picked this recipe from Bon Appétit solely for the smoked paprika dressing.

Roasted Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup
Roasting adds a depth of flavor that simmering will never provide, and it also makes for a low-fuss dinner that tastes like it took a lot more effort than it did.

Moroccan Spinach and Chickpeas
While the dish may look like a regular Indian curry, it has a completely different character. The cumin adds a nice earthiness and the smoked paprika helps perk things up.

Spicy Quinoa Salad
This recipe from the New York Times treats the quinoa much like in a tabbouleh salad, tossing it with lime juice, cilantro, chopped tomato, red onion, and cucumber.

While these may not be the prettiest turnovers to ever emerge from an oven, they were remarkably easy to construct.
