CLASSIC ROASTED VEGETABLES, SPICED UP!
Take simple roasted vegetables up a notch with flavorful Indian spices!
When I think fall, I think warm comforting roasted vegetables. seasoned to perfection, crisped and golden.
This recipe can be made with just about any vegetable that is in season or that you have on hand, but right now it's getting cool and fall is in the air so I have used vegetables like pumpkin, beetroot, and potato to name a few. All of which are hearty and sing Fall.
I love this recipe sprinkled with chaat masala right before serving and drizzled with green chutney. It gives the veggies that extra zing!
In case you don't know what chaat masala is – It's a spice mix that is made up of spices like amchoor (dry mango powder), black salt, cumin, and coriander. It's tangy, zesty, a little spicy, and can spruce up any dish with a pinch. You can find it in most South Asian grocery stores or online.
These vegetables hold their own, but I also love them served alongside
This also goes great along with lamb chops, or a simply grilled piece of salmon.
I hope you give this preparation a try and give your regular roasted veggies a nice kick!
