These Roasted Vegetables and Hummus Bowls are a popular go-to dinner in our house. Healthful, colorful, flavorful…they’ve got all the ‘fulls’ in one big bowl of yum!
The ingredient lineup is a little basic which makes them super easy to customize and great for cleaning out the fridge.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need:
- nutritious veggies (brussels sprouts, peppers, and onions)
- cooked brown rice
- salty feta cheese
- something leafy (spinach is my fav)
- sweet grape tomatoes
- a fat scoop of creamy hummus
- and tangy balsamic vinegar
Tips For Making Hummus Veggie Bowls
Vegetable Options: If sprouts aren’t your thing, you can swap them for chopped cauliflower, sweet potatoes, or make a batch of roasted frozen broccoli instead. Just toss on some oil, a few generous shakes of your favorite seasoning blend, and get roasting.
Hummus Varieties: You want the hummus to add to the flavor of the bowl without overpowering the other ingredients. We like to use a plain or garlic hummus but roasted red pepper is yummy too.
Grains: While nothing beats a fresh batch of brown rice it does take a while to cook. So I always keep a few bags of pre-cooked brown rice in the pantry or freezer. They can be warmed up in minutes and are pretty tasty for a shortcut item. Leftover farro, bulgar, or instant pot mini quinoa are good options too.
Pantry Suggestions: There are lots of cool pantry staples you could toss in these bowls. If you’re looking to create a vegan-friendly option, Kalamata olives work great as a swap for the feta. Chickpeas, canned artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, walnuts, and Pepperoncini slices would also make worthy additions (though probably not all at once).
Lastly, if I’m feeling extra and have half a cucumber to use up, I’ll throw together a batch of this refreshing tzatziki sauce for two and pile it on!
