Orzo with Roasted Vegetables

With spring in bloom, so are our favorite fruits and veggies. I took a drive out to one of the farms yesterday, not only because I’m anxious to get my hands on fresh strawberries but also, the freshest asparagus I can find for this recipe.

Roasted veggies like asparagus shine in this vegetarian orzo recipe. It’s loaded with nutrients that provide digestive support, is anti-inflammatory, promotes heart health, and is packed with antioxidants. It can be eaten raw, sautéed, steamed, or roasted.

If the stalksseem too woody, I use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin of the stalk. I find, though, the freshest asparagus is pretty tender, so very little of the stem needs to be trimmed. To keep asparagus fresh, I store itwith the base of the stems wrapped in a damp paper towel and try to enjoy them within 48 hours of purchasing.

What Else to Pick-up at the Market

Aside from fresh asparagus, stock up on cremini mushrooms, a mix of orange, yellow or red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, shallots, and fresh herbsand you are ready for this recipe. Zucchini and or eggplant can be substituted for the asparagus when in season.

Quick Guide: How to Make Lemon Orzo and Roasted Vegetables

This orzo pasta recipe is a family favorite and comes together quick after the chopping is done. In summary, here’s how to make it (see recipe card below for details):

  • First, roast the red or yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus and shallot in olive oil using two separate baking sheets lined with parchment paper (start checking your veggies after 25 minutes to ensure the perfect roasting).
  • Next, a separate baking sheet, roast the pine nuts or almonds for 6-7 minutes
  • While the veggies are roasting and pine nuts are toasting (hehe), cook the orzo in a large skillet.
  • Finally, whip up the dressing using olive oil, lemon juice salt & pepper.

Combine everything together, sprinkle with a bit of feta cheese or parmesan cheese and share!

What to Serve with this Veggie Orzo Recipe

Simplicity is key. To keep this orzo pasta recipe vegetarian, all it needs is a good loaf of Sourdough Bread, a salad like my Vegetarian Kale Caesar Salad and a bottle of your favorite wine. To stretch the recipe further and to take this perfectly made Lemon Garlic Orzo with Roasted Vegetables dish to the next level, share it with a kale Caesar salad in addition to that crusty bread and wine. It will be a memorable meal for everyone who enjoys it.

Pro Tips

  • Regarding roasting, see recipe notes notes on oven temperatures and roasting times. Also, consider your taste when it comes to roasted veggies. More charring (this is what I like) = more time in the oven. Less charring and tender crisp = less time in the oven. Roast to your taste!
  • Dairy Free? Yes Please! This orzo recipe is easily made vegan by omitting the feta.
  • Substitute the pine nuts with toasted chopped or slivered almonds or hazelnuts if desired.
  • For an Orzo Pasta Salad, share this recipe chilled by placing in a lidded container and chill for at least one hour before sharing.
  • Freezer friendly? I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

Author:Traci York

This Spring recipe is a Vanilla And Bean favorite. Lemon Garlic Orzo with Roasted Vegetables is delicious served warm or chilled and makes a fabulous addition to a picnic, or potluck. Sub in season veggies like zucchini or eggplant for the asparagus when needed. Share with a Vegetarian Kale Caesar Salad to complete the meal! This recipe is vegetarian and easily vegan. *See Step By Step Video Below*

Ingredients

For the Orzo and Veggies:

  • 1/3 C (64g) Pine Nuts* (see note)
  • 1 1/2 C (116g) Crimini Mushrooms destemmed and sliced
  • 1 C (126g) Mix of Red Yellow, or Orange Bell Peppers, deseeded and diced (I used baby bells here, but you'll need about 1 whole bell pepper if using the larger variety)
  • 1 lb (425g) Asparagus (sub zucchini or eggplant when in season!) cut into 1" pieces with woody ends discarded
  • 12 oz (340g) Cherry Tomatoes sliced in 1/2
  • 2 tsp Garlic minced
  • 1/2 C (116g) Shallot chopped
  • 3 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil divided
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper Ground
  • 1 C (200g) Orzo
  • 1 1/2 C (355g) Vegetable Broth
  • 1/2 C (84g) Garlic and Herb Feta crumbled - or plain vegan feta

For the Dressing:

For the Garnish:

  • 2-3 Tbs Chopped Fresh Basil
  • 2-3 Tbs Chopped Fresh Parsley

Instructions

Toast the Pine Nuts:

  • Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and toast pine nuts for 6-7 minutes, or until toasty and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Roast the Veggies:

  • Turn oven up to 425F (218C). Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Place the mushrooms, bell peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, garlic and shallot on one pan. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs of olive oil. Using a spatula, mix all the veggies together with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then stir again. Move 1/2 the veggie mixture to the other sheet pan. Spread the veggies in one layer, making sure there's no overlapping on both pans.

    Roast in a 425F oven for 35-40 minutes (due to oven variations, keep an eye on your veggies and start checking your veggies at 25 minutes; a bit of charring is good!** see notes!). Rotate pans 1/2 way through roasting.

Cook the Orzo:

  • In a large saute pan, heat 1 Tbs of Olive Oil on medium heat until shimmering. Add the orzo and stir, coating the orzo thoroughly. Stir occasionally for about 3 minutes or until the orzo is toasty and golden. Add the vegetable broth. Be careful here because the broth will spit and sputter. Bring to a simmer, turn down the heat to low, cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.

Make the Dressing:

  • In a small bowl add the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all the ingredients are emulsified.

Putting it all Together:

  • In the large saute pan, to the orzo, add the roasted veggies and all their juices, stir in the dressing, feta, and pine nuts. Garnish generously with basil and parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

*The price of Pine Nuts can be high. I find buying in bulk to be more affordable. Feel free to use toasted chopped or slivered almonds instead.

To share as a salad place in a lidded container and chill for at least an hour. Let set at room temperature for 15 minutes, to soften the olive oil, stir and serve.

**I've read hundreds of notes on Pinterest and Instagram regarding this recipe. Thank you for sharing your notes, pictures and tips! A note I've received several times is regarding over - charred veggies. Due to oven temperature calibrations (fluctuations) and inaccurate oven temperatures (this is normal), start checking your veggies around 20-25 minutes in the oven. AND....

I enthusiastically recommend anoven thermometer! I’ve baked in commercial bakeries and home ovens, old, lightly used and brand new ovens – they all have their own personalities with temperature variations and fluctuations. Knowing the temperature of your oven is important for the best outcome.

    I added chicken thighs to this and it was AMAZING! Sauteed the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on them. Then toasted the Orzo in the same pan in the oil and fond from the chicken. The whole thing was awesome.

    I never leave reviews on recipes, but this one was so good I had to review it. This was absolutely delicious. I doubled the orzo because I love pasta and I think it turned out to be the perfect ratio. I really have no words for how great this recipe is. I will definitely use this recipe for future get togethers or parties!

    I made this and my fiance said it was delicious and he could eat it every day!! This makes me very happy as I never get this kind of response from the dinners I cook 😂
    I left out the pine nuts (they were £3/100g! at Asda) so I’ll look at Aldi next time.

    Regarding the veg, I checked at 25mins & just about saved them from being burnt to a crisp, so definitely keep a close eye 👀.

    I’ll probably use a little less oil on the dressing next time too.

    This was the first time I’ve cooked Orzo & was pleasantly surprised. I now prefer it to all other pasta.

    Overall very nice!!

    Delicious! Followed the recipe amounts very carefully (the asparagus was a bit more wooden than expected, so we were a little short there, and our family likes less salt and pepper than most do), and it was excellent. The first time I’ve cooked with orzo or asparagus, and the recipe made it easy.

    Great for our meatless Monday dinner. Thank you!
