How to Make the Perfect Roasted Veggie & Hummus Bowl
Ingredients
For the Roasted Veggies:
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium beet, peeled and diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ยฝ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Bowl Base & Topping:
- 1 cup hummus (classic or flavored)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
- Optional: lemon wedges or zaโatar for garnish
Directions
- Prep the Veggies: Preheat your oven to 200ยฐC (400ยฐF). Toss each type of vegetable separately with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This ensures each veggie is evenly seasoned.
- Roast in Batches: Spread the veggies on a parchment-lined tray in sections (or use two trays to avoid overcrowding). Roast for 25โ30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
- Warm the Chickpeas: Roast chickpeas alongside the vegetables for extra crunch or crisp them in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spread hummus in the center of your bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a swirl. Arrange the roasted vegetables around it in colorful sections.
- Drizzle & Finish: Add a finishing drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle fresh herbs, and garnish with lemon wedges or a dusting of zaโatar if desired.
