• Chickpeas: Add some chickpea protein to make this a quick and easy lunch on its own.
• Bell Pepper: I used red bell pepper here, but you can use any color you have on hand to add flavor and crunch to this platter of roasted veggies.
• Zucchini: Mix it up and add some yellow summer squash, too!
• Carrots: A favorite for many, this is a great one to add so everyone has something they already like.
• Red Onion: This type of onion adds a mild zing and natural sweetness.
• Olive Oil: This heart-healthy oil is perfect for oven roasting.
• Seasoning: We’ll season the veggies with a variety of pantry-stables, like oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Greek Yogurt Sauce: More protein! This refreshing yogurt, garlic, and dill sauce pairs so well with the hot vegetables.

How to make Mediterranean Vegetables

Though roasted in the oven, these also taste like Mediterranean grilled vegetables. The whole point is to heat things up and add lovely roasted taste and texture.

Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven and get out a large baking sheet. Cut the veggies into the perfect size for a fork! Add them all to a large bowl and toss with oil and spices.

Step 2: Bake
Line a baking sheet with parchment and then spread out the coated veggies. Roast until everything is fork-tender. The chickpeas should get crispy.

Step 3: Sauce
Stir together all ingredients for yogurt dill sauce in a small bowl while the vegetables are roasting.

Step 4: Serve
Serve the vegetables still warm from the oven, and top them with a dollop of the dill sauce.

Recipe tips

Knife Work: Keep in mind that the vegetables you choose will cook at different lengths. The harder carrots should be smaller than the bell pepper. Keep all cauliflower uniform so all pieces cook the same.

Saucy: This sauce will quickly become a favorite and you’ll find yourself making it for other recipes as well, such as Chickpea Gyros.

Grilled to Perfection: Grab a grill basket and roast these veggies on a gas grill at the same temperature. You’ll have to watch the timing as it depends on if your basket is shallow or deep.

Pop A Pickle On It: Try using pickled cauliflower in place of fresh for a fun added tang!
