Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked barley
  • 2 cups roasted mixed vegetables (carrots, beets, parsnips)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds

For Roasting and Dressing

  • Olive oil, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the mixed vegetables—carrots, beets, and parsnips—with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.
  2. Roast the vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked barley, roasted vegetables, crumbled feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds.
  4. Dress and toss: Drizzle the mixture with balsamic vinegar and an additional drizzle of olive oil if desired. Toss gently to combine all the flavors evenly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the barley with quinoa or farro for a different texture.
  • To make this dish vegan, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Roasting the vegetables at a higher temperature enhances their natural sweetness and flavor.
