US Customary - Metric
Instructions
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Prepare the Sheet Pan: Add the sweet potato, cauliflower, bell pepper, onion, and chickpeas to the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil (or broth for oil-free), then sprinkle with cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly, then spread everything into a single layer.
    Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are fork-tender.
  • Make the Spiced Yogurt Sauce: While the veggies roast, whisk together the yogurt, parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, agave or maple syrup, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Finish & Serve: Once roasted, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the veggies. Drizzle with yogurt sauce, sprinkle with parsley or cilantro, and top with almonds or pistachios if using. Serve over couscous, quinoa, or rice, or with warm pita. Enjoy with extra yogurt sauce on the side!
    Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Keep the yogurt sauce separate. Warm in the oven at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for 10 minutes or microwave until hot.
Notes
Veggie swaps: Try butternut squash, zucchini, baby potates, eggplant, carrots, or Brussels sprouts instead of sweet potatoes and cauliflower.
Nut-free option: Skip the pistachios/almonds or replace them with toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
Protein boost: Add cubed tofu or tempeh to the sheet pan for extra protein.
Spice level: For a bit of heat, add ยผ teaspoon cayenne or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the veggies along with the other spices.
