Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. 4. While the quinoa cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 5. Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. 6. Stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, parsley, and basil; cook for another 2 minutes. 7. Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and mix it with the sautéed onions. 8. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
