Ingredients:
Vegetables:
- 1 whole cauliflower
- 1 whole broccoli
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 large carrots
Spiced Olive Oil Sauce:
- 70 ml olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, grated
- 1 small teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 small teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Optionally, blanch them in boiling water for a moment and then drain. This step is for those who prefer their vegetables with a softer texture.
- Thinly slice the potatoes and carrots. Cut the red pepper into strips.
- Arrange all the vegetables on a baking tray in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, grated garlic, black pepper, thyme, curry powder, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and salt to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables on the tray, and toss them until they are well coated with the seasoning.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 40 minutes. Halfway through, at around 20 minutes, give the vegetables a good stir to ensure they roast evenly.
- While the vegetables are roasting, you can prepare a side of garlic yogurt by simply mixing yogurt with some minced garlic and a pinch of salt.
To Serve:
- Once the vegetables are tender and nicely caramelized, remove them from the oven.
- Serve the roasted vegetables with a dollop of the garlic yogurt on the side.
Enjoy this simple yet satisfying dish of roasted vegetables spiced with a blend of flavors that bring warmth and depth to each bite. It's a healthy and delightful option for any meal.
