Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, quartered

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup quinoa or brown rice, cooked (for serving)

Optional: feta cheese or goat cheese for topping

Optional: fresh basil or parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and mushrooms.

      Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful dressing.

        Toss the Veggies: Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss until everything is well-coated.

          Roast: Spread the coated veggies evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

            Prepare the Greens: In the last 5 minutes of roasting, add the chopped kale or spinach to the baking sheet, allowing it just enough time to wilt slightly while still maintaining its vibrant color.

              Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, add a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with the roasted veggies and greens.

                Finish with Toppings: If desired, sprinkle with feta or goat cheese and garnish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, for an added layer of flavor.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious and healthy Balsamic Roasted Veggie Bowls warm, or pack them for a delightful lunch option.
