INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dry Orzo (~50g)
3/4 cup cooked Lentils (~150g)
1 cup Broccoli (91g)
1 cup Red Bell Pepper (92g)
1/2 cup Caramelized Onion (80g)
1 medium Crunchy Carrot (61g)
1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (~15g)
1/3 tablespoon Olive Oil (~4.5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss broccoli florets and red bell pepper slices with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While roasting, cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the lentils if not already cooked; if using canned, rinse well. For a fresher flavor, lightly warm the lentils in a saucepan with a pinch of salt.
In a separate pan, caramelize thinly sliced onions over medium-low heat with a few drops of olive oil until they turn a deep golden brown.
Once the vegetables are roasted and the onions are caramelized, mix the orzo, lentils, roasted broccoli, bell peppers, and onions in a large bowl.
Add the crunchy, chopped carrot and sprinkle in the nutritional yeast. Gently toss all ingredients to combine evenly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve warm for a comforting meal that shines at any time of day.
