To Roast Sweet Potatoes
Tomatoes + Corn:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and corn onto the baking sheet (in a single layer and grouped separately) and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and basil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the veggies are charred, wilted, and tender. Remove and let cool slightly.
To Make Orzo:
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the veggie stock to a boil. Add the orzo and let it boil for 8–10 minutes or until orzo slightly swells and is tender. Once done, drain, rinse, and season with salt + black pepper, to taste.
To Make Chipotle Ranch Dressing:
In a bowl, add together all ingredients and whisk everything together until combined and smooth. Dressing should be easy to drizzle in consistency.
To Serve + Assemble: Spoon a bit of the orzo into low bowl(s) or plate(s) evenly, followed by roasted veggies (sweet potatoes, tomatoes, + corn, grouped side by side), and top with drizzle of chipotle ranch dressing. Enjoy!
