This out-of-the-ordinary trio of common ingredients is made supremely tasty with an easy sprinkle of spices.
It’s a simple way to get more vegetables into your life. Serve hot, alongside rotisserie chicken one night; topped with fried egg on another night; and at room temperature, as a snack with hummus.
The vegetables can be prepped and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil ½ teaspoon paprika (sweet) ½ teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄4 teaspoon granulated garlic
(garlic powder)
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
4 cups cauliflower florets (one 12-ounce package) cut further as needed into 1-inch florets
3 large carrots, scrubbed well and cut on the diagonal into 1-inchlong pieces, thicker pieces halved lengthwise
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and cut into 2-by-1-inch pieces
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil if desired (for easy cleanup). Whisk together the oil, paprika, salt, cumin, garlic and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add the vegetables and toss to coat. Spread them out on the baking sheet; roast (middle rack) for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until they are tender and browned in spots, about 20 minutes.
