Ingredients (yields 4 servings):
Vegetables:
π₯£ 1 head of cauliflower
π₯£ 1 handful of spinach (to add to orzo)
π₯£ 1 large sweet potato or 2 smaller sweet potatoes
π₯£ 2 large carrots
π₯£ Spice blend: 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp rosemary, 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika
Orzo:
π₯£ 2 tbsp butter
π₯£ 3 cloves garlic
π₯£ 1 cup orzo
π₯£ 1 cup milk
π₯£ 1 cup chicken broth
π₯£ Β½ cup cheese (preferably parmesan but mozzarella works too)
Instructions:
1οΈβ£ Clean and chop cauliflower, carrots, and sweet potato. Season all over with salt, pepper, and spice blend. Roast at 425Β°F for about 20 minutes on the lower rack, flipping halfway through.
2οΈβ£ Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly, about 30 seconds. Pour orzo into pan and toast for about two minutes.
3οΈβ£ Pour chicken broth and milk into pan. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4οΈβ£ Lower heat and add spinach and cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted and spinach is wilted.
5οΈβ£ Add a layer of orzo to the bottom of each bowl as the base. Place roasted vegetables on top. Top with salt and pepper to taste.
Commentary:
This bowl is healthy, quick to assemble, perfect for fall, and GREAT for gut health! Roasted vegetables are the star of this recipe, and the cheesy, garlicky orzo pairs great with it.
You can use any combination of roasted vegetables youβd like, but I chose cauliflower, spinach, sweet potato, and carrot because theyβre amazing for your digestive system.
Cauliflower - high in fiber and water, prevents constipation, lowers risk of colon cancer, provides fuel source for healthy bacteria that lives in our gut
Spinach - high in fiber, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin A; great source of prebiotic
Sweet potato - high in two kinds of fiber and good source of prebiotics like oligosaccharides (improves balance of gut bacteria), has lots of antioxidants
Carrot - has mix of soluble and insoluble fiber and also contains prebiotics
Iβll definitely be making this recipe a lot more this fall!
