A delicious Mediterranean dish featuring orzo pasta paired with a variety of roasted vegetables and feta cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
  3. Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the orzo in a pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked orzo, roasted vegetables, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice, and gently toss everything together.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature, with extra parsley for garnish if desired.
