What Makes Roasted Vegetables Irresistible?

How to Make Roasted Vegetables with Tahini-Yogurt Dressing
1. Prep and Roast:
Toss your vegetables and chickpeas with olive oil and spices, then spread them on a sheet pan. Roasting at 400°F (200°C) ensures caramelization and crispy textures.
2. Whisk the Dressing:
While the veggies roast, mix tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and a touch of mustard and agave for a tangy, creamy dressing that complements the roasted flavors.
3. Assemble and Serve:
Plate your roasted veggies on a smear of dressing for a restaurant-style presentation. Add fresh parsley, sesame seeds, or chili oil for a pop of flavor.
Tips for Perfect Roasted Vegetables
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Leave space between veggies for even roasting.
- Season Generously: Spices like cumin, paprika, and chili flakes elevate the flavor.
- Flip Halfway Through: Ensures even browning.
Variations and Serving Suggestions
- Make it a Meal: Serve over quinoa, couscous, or a bed of fresh greens for a heartier dish.
- Add a Protein: Toss in tofu, tempeh, or even roasted nuts for extra texture and protein.
- Switch the Dressing: Try a balsamic glaze or hummus for a different flavor profile.

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!
