Autumn is all about comfort food that’s as quick to prepare as it is delicious. After a hiatus over the summer months, when salads and BBQs reigned supreme, there’s something special about whipping up a baked dish and serving it straight from the oven. Even if cooking isn’t your strength, this baked feta and tomato orzo couldn’t be simpler to rustle up.

It’s as delicious and nutritious as it is easy on the eye, packed full of protein and healthy fats (from the feta) alongside gorgeously roasted tomatoes and nutty orzo pasta (which is higher in fibre than other pasta), while the mint and dill help to up your plant count, too.

Tomatoes have a myriad of health benefits, and roasting them enhances their goodness. They’re packed full of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps the body fight off free radicals (chemicals that attack the body’s cells). When cooked, the lycopene becomes more readily available for absorption, meaning they’re even better for you. Win-win.
