Roasted Asparagus and Sautéed Mushroom Barley Bowl
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup barley
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the barley, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the barley is cooking, place the trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- To assemble the barley bowls, divide the cooked barley among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with roasted asparagus, sautéed mushrooms, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
