What vegetables work best for colorful oven vegetables with bulgur?

pumpkin, fennel, eggplant, carrots, parsnips and beetroot all roast beautifully, but you can use whatever you have in the fridge. zucchini, bell peppers or sweet potatoes work just as well, which makes this a great way to use up leftover veggies.

At what temperature and how long should the vegetables roast?

preheat the oven to 200 degrees and roast the marinated vegetables for about 30–40 minutes, until tender and nicely browned. if you like the kale extra crispy, add it a little later so it doesn't burn.

Can I swap the bulgur for another grain?

yes, this dish also works with couscous, rice or quinoa. we love to switch things up depending on what we're in the mood for, and the method stays exactly the same.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

absolutely. the leftovers reheat easily the next day or can be enjoyed cold as a salad with a simple dressing, which makes them perfect to take to the office.

yes, the whole dish is vegan. i make the dip with plant-based yogurt, and if you like, you can finish the bowl with vegan cheese, pomegranate seeds and blood orange slices.

I combined the vegetables with bulgur this time, so we like to change.

Bulgur

Bulgur is usually made from durum wheat. This is first soaked, then pre-cooked or steamed. The production of Bulgur is extremely gentle. Since the whole grain is grind coarsely, the bulgur is also very nutritious. The wheat semolina contains, among other things, various B vitamins as well as vitamin E and the minerals calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

I also added pomegranate seeds, blood orange slices and a delicious New Roots vegan cheese to our colorful bowl of vegetables and cooked bulgur. So the dish gets even more delicious components and it all tastes very harmonious. Add a spicy yoghurt dip and you have a wholesome and healthy meal.

We love to eat so colorful, so I can be sure that the children get all the important nutrients and it also tastes great. With the vegetables, you can vary at any time and if you do not want the kale to be so crunchy, add oat to the oven a little bit later, or even add it in the end as a salad. The dish also tastes really yummy with couscous, rice or quinoa. We just love to use different grains, so it won't get boring.

Do you like such quick dishes out of the oven? They are also great as a meal prep, just take the leftovers to the office the next day. Warm up again or enjoy as a salad with a dressing .

If you love bulgur as much as we do, you should also try my curry with broccoli, coconut milk and bulgur – creamy and comforting. For more colorful bowls, I adore this couscous salad with apricots and the colorful salad with sweet potato and quinoa. They make it so easy to bring variety to the table.
