Spiced Roasted Vegetables on Tahini Yogurt 🌶️

Ingredients

For the roasted vegetables

½ cauliflower, cut into florets
2 potatoes, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 onions, diced
1 bell pepper, chopped
Drained chickpeas, optional
40–45 ml / approximately 3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp turmeric, optional
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
Black pepper

For the yogurt dip

200 g / approximately ¾ cup Greek or plain yogurt
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp sriracha—or more if you like it spicy
Juice of ½ lemon
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper

To serve

Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Arrange the vegetables in a large baking dish or on a baking tray. If adding chickpeas, drain and dry them well first.
Mix the olive oil with the paprika, cumin, turmeric, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour it over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Roast at 190°C fan / 375°F convection for 30–40 minutes, stirring halfway, until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the vegetables are golden around the edges.
Mix all the yogurt dip ingredients directly on a serving plate. Spoon the warm roasted vegetables over the yogurt and finish with chopped parsley.

Tip: Cut the potatoes and carrots slightly smaller than the softer vegetables, and avoid overcrowding the tray so everything roasts rather than steams.
