Made this and it turned out wonderful ! Thanks !!!!!
This is one of the best dishes I’ve had this year. Roasting veggies is always so much better than any other cooking method. But this dressing is sooo good. Only substituted maple syrup for agave (better glycemic friendly). I ate half the recipe. Can’t wait for tomorrow to eat these rest. Thank you.
Loove this recipe. Tons of flavor and it’s warm so satisfying in the winter. I roast batches to meal prep and reheat quickly in a skillet so you still get good texture. Also swap out with butternut squash and add brussels and purple cabbage.
Thanks!!
made this twice recently, absolutely delicious! my only tweak was more garlic 🙂
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback!
This is amazing! Easy to make. The tahini sauce is delicious.
Happy to hear that 🙂
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! The roasted vegetables are perfectly tender, and the creamy tahini-yogurt dressing is amazing. Incredibly nutritious, flavorful, and my favorite winter food now. Thank you!
Loved the roasted vegetables and the dressing was fantastic. We just weren’t keen on the roasted chickpeas. Anyone have a plant based protein substitute?
I didn’t like the chick
peas in it either, they were like bullets, otherwise the dish is lovely, I put Brussels sprouts in a bit later instead of broccoli as that got overcooked first time I made it and squash, beetroot are other alternatives too…The dressing is fantastic!
I see now that it’s tablespoons not teaspoons. So I assume it’s a combination of the seasonings not two tablespoons of each. I apologize for my oversight. Ignore my previous comment.
Is it 2 teaspoons of the seasonings combined or of each?
I was wondering the same thing, Morgan! My first attempt was using 2 tsp of each….I think that was a mistake.
This was absolutely delicious!
Dressing is fantastic and many variations of roasted vegetables work beautifully such as Carrots, Beetroot, Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash as well as ones in recipe.
This was easy and delish! Will be adding to rotation!
Thank you so much for this easy and delicious recipe! It came out perfectly when I followed the instructions. Thanks for sharing it.
Sweet potatoes took 10 minutes longer to cook, so a total of 40 minutes. This is a delicious recipe and I plan to add it to my regular rotation!
Wow, this is so delicious!!!! I’ve never been so excited for leftovers. I could eat the yogurt tahini dressing by the spoonful. That will be my new go-to dipping sauce for veggies or even salad dressing.
Catherine , how did you measure the spices ?
Two teaspoons of each or combination of each to make the two teaspoons ? Thanks!
A combination of all the spices is how I did it and it came out great
So glad you liked it Linda!😊
This was delicious! Made this around 3 times and will keep making it hopefully at least once a week! Used coconut yogurt. Thank you!
So glad you liked it!!😊
Dr. Vegan, I feel that I need to meet you. Your recipe is fantastic! I am so happy you shared your art with me. Thank you!!!!!!! So goooood.
Would Brussel sprouts be okay in the recipe?
Absolutely! 🙂
Wow!! I just ate this and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
Thank you so much Ahmad for this recipe!
So glad you liked it!!😊
I absolutely loved this! A perfect comfort food for cold days ahead. Thank you!
So happy to hear that Rina 🙂 It really is the perfect cozy dish for cold days. Thanks for trying it out!
Tasty recipe! Very easy to make. This will be in heavy rotation.
It’s not even out of the oven yet but I’m giving it 5 stars! The dressing is divine. Only problem
Is the sweet potatoes aren’t even close to being done at 30 minutes. I’m guessing they need at least 15 – 20 minutes longer. Hope the extra time won’t adversely affect the other veggies. cannot wait to enjoy! Thank you for the recipe!
I absolutely love your style. Keep it going with these life changing recipes. Yes they do require some effort , however the outcome gives you that warm feel and you cant go wrong with the nutrition packed recipes. Thank you Ahmed.
How is it vegan with Yogurt?
