Cook Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is fluffy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare Vegetables: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). On a baking sheet, spread out the diced zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
Roast Vegetables: Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa and roasted vegetables. Add chopped parsley, crumbled feta (if using), and balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to combine.
Serve: The salad can be served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for a quick meal later.
