Ingredients

Scale

For the Roasted Beets

  • 3 medium beets, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Bowl

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, farro, or rice
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill

For the Dressing

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely grated
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Roast the Beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the peeled and cubed beets with olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread the beets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the beets halfway through cooking, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
  2. Warm the Beans: While the beets roast, place the drained and rinsed white beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and gently warm the beans, stirring occasionally until heated through.
  3. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, finely grated garlic, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked grains (quinoa, farro, or rice) among serving bowls. Top with the roasted beets, warmed white beans, and thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Finish & Serve: Drizzle the lemon-Dijon dressing over each bowl. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley or dill. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious, wholesome meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute farro or rice with any preferred grain like barley or couscous.
  • For a vegan option, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Beets can be roasted in advance and stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • Adjust seasoning in the dressing according to taste, adding more lemon juice for extra acidity.
  • Use fresh herbs according to what you have on hand; cilantro or basil can also be good substitutes.
