Greek-Style Stuffed Veggie Dinner Bowl

Greek-Style Stuffed Veggie Dinner Bowl

This Greek-style stuffed veggie dinner bowl is a simple way to get big Mediterranean flavor without heavy ingredients. Roasted peppers and zucchini become the “main,” filled with a herby grain mix and finished with feta, olive oil, and lemon.

It’s comforting, colorful, and easy to make in a weeknight rhythm — plus it works well for leftovers.

Ingredients (1–2 bowls)

• 1 bell pepper, halved and deseeded
• 1 zucchini, halved lengthwise
• ½ cup cooked quinoa or rice (or a mix)
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 2 tbsp crumbled feta
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper
• Lemon wedge, to finish

Optional sides (bowl add-ons): cucumber slices, olives, quick tomato salad, spoon of tzatziki.

How to make it

Roast the pepper halves and zucchini halves at 200°C (390°F) for about 18–22 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, mix the cooked grains with chopped spinach, herbs, oregano, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into the roasted vegetables, top with feta, and return to the oven for 5 minutes to warm through.

Build your bowl with the stuffed veggies plus cucumbers and olives. Finish with lemon juice and a little extra olive oil.

Meal-prep tips (FMB style)

• Roast extra veggies and store for up to 3 days in the fridge.
• Keep the grain filling separate for the best texture.
• Add feta just before eating (or pack it separately).

Simple macro note

This bowl is naturally vegetable-forward, with moderate carbs from the grain and balanced fats from olive oil + feta. To boost protein, add chickpeas or a side of Greek yogurt.
