Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a large baking sheet, toss zucchini, peppers, onion, and tomatoes with olive oil and spices.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and charred at the edges.
- If using grains, portion them into four bowls.
- Add a generous swirl of hummus to each bowl.
- Top with the warm roasted vegetables.
- Garnish with olives, feta, and parsley. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top before serving.
Notes
- Sheet Pan Success: Do not overcrowd the vegetables on the tray; if they are too close together, they will steam rather than roast and caramelize.
- Hummus Temp: While most people serve hummus cold, try spreading it in the bowl and letting the warm roasted veggies sit on top for a minute to slightly warm the hummus—it enhances the creaminess.
- Grain Options: For the best texture, use "fluffy" grains. If using quinoa, cook it in vegetable broth instead of water for an extra layer of savory flavor.
- Storage: Keep the roasted vegetables and grains in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Store the fresh toppings (cucumber, herbs) separately to maintain their crunch.
- Custom Heat: If you like a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of Harissa paste to the vegetables before roasting.
