Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 small zucchinis, cut thinly into rounds
- 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, sliced
- ¼ cup julienned sundried tomatoes
- 1 cup bulk soft white wheat berries, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup bulk French lentils, rinsed and drained

For the sauce

- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°. Add the wheat berries and lentils to 4 cups of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 30 minutes until tender. Strain if needed.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed sheet pan, toss the olive oil, zucchini, bell pepper, onions, and salt to coat. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and browned on the edges. Stir in the sundried tomatoes.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients. In a shallow bowl, add the lentil-wheat berry mixture to one side and some vegetables on the other side. Drizzle with the sauce and serve.
