Ingredients needed

The simple ingredients for this recipe are listed fully down in the recipe card but let’s briefly go over what’s needed including a few substitutions you can make as desired!

For the roasted veggies & chickpeas

Butternut squash – Adds natural sweetness and makes the bowls feel hearty and cozy. Sweet potatoes or even regular potatoes work great as a swap.

Broccoli – Brings crunch and roasted edges. Broccolini also works well here!

Cauliflower – Soaks up all the seasoning and caramelizes beautifully.

Red onion – Adds sweetness and depth once roasted.

Chickpeas – For protein and texture. Make sure they’re very dry for max crispiness!

Olive oil, salt + pepper, and spices

For the whipped feta

Feta cheese – The salty, tangy base of the sauce! Full-fat feta gives the creamiest result.

Plain Greek yogurt – Lightens up the feta and makes it ultra smooth PLUS adds additional protein to the whole dish.

Olive oil – Helps everything blend into a creamy, spoonable texture.

Lemon juice – Brightens and balances the richness.

How to make these Veggie Bowls

Just a reminder that you can find the FULL written recipe down in the recipe card, but I want to quickly go over how to make them with visuals for you 🙂

Place the veggies and chickpeas on 2 large baking trays and toss with olive oil + spices. Toss to coat and roast in the oven.

Make the whipped feta by combining all of the ingredients into a food processor and blend until creamy.

To serve, simple divide the whipped feta onto 4 plates and top evenly with the roasted veggies. Super simple and SO good. I love to serve mine with a little quinoa for added protein!

Expert Tips

Roast everything in a single layer so the veggies caramelize instead of steaming.

Dry the chickpeas really well before roasting to help them crisp up.

If your whipped feta is too thick, add a splash of water or more olive oil to loosen it up.

Taste the whipped feta before serving — feta brands vary a lot in saltiness.

Finish with a squeeze of lemon or drizzle of olive oil for extra brightness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can swap the whipped feta for a dairy-free feta alternative blended with a plant-based yogurt, though the flavor will be slightly different.

What other vegetables work well here?

Brussels sprouts, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, or mushrooms are all great options.

Can I use frozen vegetables?

Fresh is best for roasting, but frozen can work if thawed and dried well before roasting.

Is this good for meal prep?

Yes! Store the roasted veggies and whipped feta separately and assemble when ready to eat.

Instructions

Roast the veggies and chickpeas. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the butternut squash, broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, and chickpeas to a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss everything together until well coated, then spread into an even layer. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and caramelized and the chickpeas are lightly crisp.
Make the whipped feta. While the vegetables are roasting, add the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and a few cracks of black pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then set aside.

Notes

Serving size: this serves 2 very large portions. I often turn it into 4 average servings by adding rice or quinoa to bulk up each portion.
