Mixed Grains with Roasted Veggies

This is another one of our recipes that we threw to together one night when we had no idea what to have for dinner.  We used a combination of Pearled Barley, Medium Grain Brown Rice, and Bulgur Wheat.  We cooked the Pearled Barley in Chicken Broth instead of the usual water and it really gave the barley an AWESOME taste. It smelled awesome cooking on the stove too.  This recipe will work great with rice and any other grain you are cookin’ up.

We preheated the oven to 400 degrees and chopped the parsnip and sweet potato and tossed them in olive oil, kosher salt, rosemary, thyme, and sage. We also sliced red onion and added it to the baking sheet. Cook for about a 1/2 hour.

Meanwhile, cook all your grains on the stovetop. Once cooked, combine all of the grains in a bowl and top with sweet potato mixture. Add olive oil and mix. I also added some chickpeas which I toasted up in a pan with olive oil.

I made quite a lot, but that’s okay…it will make good leftovers (for lunch or dinner!)!

Enjoy!
