Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), with racks positioned in the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
- In a large bowl, toss the beets, carrots, green beans, oil, garlic, rosemary, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Divide the vegetables between two rimmed baking sheets. Roast, tossing once and rotating the pans, until a beet is easily pierced with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Divide the lettuce and cooked pearl barley among four large, shallow bowls. Top evenly with the roasted vegetables and crumbled goat cheese.
- Drizzle each bowl with the Cidery Dijon Vinaigrette, season with additional salt and pepper, and serve.
Tips and Variations
- Cut the vegetables evenly so they finish roasting at the same time.
- Rotate the baking sheets halfway through roasting for consistent browning.
- Add avocado, shredded chicken, tuna, or a hard-boiled egg for more protein.
- For extra texture, add olives, toasted nuts, poppy seeds, or sesame seeds.
- Refrigerate the roasted vegetables and barley separately for up to 4 days.
