Oven-roasted vegetables with aromatic spices

Ingredients:

Vegetables:

• 1 whole cauliflower
• 1 whole broccoli
• 3 medium potatoes
• 1 red pepper
• 2 large carrots

Spicy olive oil sauce:

• 70 ml olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic, grated
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 small teaspoon of dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon of curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt, to taste

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. If necessary, blanch them for a moment in boiling water then drain them. This step is for those who prefer their vegetables with a softer texture.
3. Thinly slice the potatoes and carrots. Cut the red pepper into strips.
4. Arrange all vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
5. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, grated garlic, black pepper, thyme, curry powder, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and salt to create the sauce.
6. Pour the sauce over the vegetables on the tray and toss them until they are well coated with the seasoning.
7. Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, about 20 minutes, stir the vegetables well so they roast evenly.
8. While the vegetables are roasting, you can make a garlic yogurt side dish by simply mixing yogurt with minced garlic and a pinch of salt.

Serve:

• Once the vegetables are tender and well caramelized, remove them from the oven.
• Serve the roasted vegetables with a dollop of garlic yogurt on the side.

Enjoy this simple but satisfying dish of roasted vegetables spiced with a blend of flavors that bring warmth and depth to every bite. It's a healthy and delicious option for any meal.
