A vibrant and satisfying orzo dinner featuring roasted vegetables, tangy feta, and a zesty lemon-herb dressing. Perfect for a weeknight meal or a summer gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and garlic with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Meanwhile, cook orzo according to package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Add roasted vegetables, feta, parsley, dill, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil to the orzo. Toss well to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

This dish is best served warm to let the feta soften and flavors meld. For extra protein, add grilled chicken or chickpeas. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
