Intro

These Sumac Roasted Vegetables are a simple yet bold way to elevate your everyday veggie side. The tangy, lemony flavor of sumac adds a Middle Eastern twist, bringing brightness and complexity to tender roasted vegetables. This dish is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, rice, or even as a filling for wraps and bowls. It’s vegan, naturally gluten-free, and endlessly versatile—swap in your favorite seasonal veggies and make it your own!

Ingredients

2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers), chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp ground sumac
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Vegetables:
Wash and dry the vegetables thoroughly. Chop them into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting. Suggested combo: sliced carrots, zucchini rounds, and bell pepper strips.
Season the Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, ground sumac, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread on Baking Sheet:
Arrange the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding, which can cause steaming instead of roasting.
Roast:
Place the tray in the oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through. The vegetables should be tender, slightly caramelized on the edges, and fragrant.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Serving Suggestion:

Pair with grilled chicken, fish, or tofu, serve over a bed of couscous or quinoa, or add to wraps with hummus or labneh for a vibrant, plant-forward meal.
