Gather Your Ingredients for Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

Alright, let’s get our superhero ingredients ready for this amazing dish! It’s pretty straightforward, and grabbing everything is half the fun. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Roasted Vegetables:

• About a pound of mixed veggies. I love using broccoli florets, colorful bell peppers cut into chunks, some nice carrots sliced up, and maybe a zucchini or two diced. Whatever looks good at the market is fair game!
• 2 tablespoons of good old olive oil. Extra virgin is great here!
• 1 teaspoon of salt, or just to your taste.
• Half a teaspoon of black pepper – freshly ground is always best if you have it!

For the Tahini Yogurt Sauce:

• A quarter cup of tahini. This is the creamy, nutty star of the sauce!
• A quarter cup of plain yogurt. I usually go for Greek yogurt because it’s nice and thick, but regular plain yogurt works too.
• 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. It really brightens everything up!
• 1 clove of garlic, minced really, really fine. If you’re a garlic lover, maybe add a tiny bit more!
• And a few tablespoons of water, just enough to get the sauce to that perfect drizzly consistency.

How to Make the Perfect Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

Okay, let’s get down to business and make this amazing Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt happen! It’s seriously so simple, you’ll wonder why you haven’t made it a million times already. We’ve got two main parts: getting those veggies perfectly roasted and whipping up that dreamy sauce. Check out my tips for making a killer tahini yogurt sauce over here!

Roasting the Vegetables

First things first, get that oven fired up to 400°F (that’s 200°C). Grab a big baking sheet – you want the veggies to have plenty of space so they roast instead of steam. Toss all your chopped veggies right onto the sheet with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Give them a good mix so everything is coated. Spread them out in a single layer; this really helps them get those nice little caramelized edges. Pop them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Oh, and don’t forget to give them a flip halfway through so they cook evenly on all sides! You want them tender and just starting to get a little browned.

Creating the Creamy Tahini Yogurt Sauce

While the veggies are doing their thing in the oven, let’s whip up that amazing sauce. Grab a small bowl, and just whisk together the tahini, yogurt, lemon juice, and that minced garlic. It might look a little thick at first, and that’s okay! Start adding your water, just a tablespoon at a time, whisking as you go. You’re looking for a consistency that’s nice and creamy, perfect for drizzling. If you like it tangier, add a bit more lemon juice, or if you’re a garlic fiend, throw in a tiny bit more garlic. It’s all about making it your own!

Tips for Success with Your Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

Want to make sure your Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt is absolutely perfect every time? I’ve got a few little tricks up my sleeve! First off, don’t overcrowd your baking sheet when you’re roasting the veggies. Give them space! This lets them get beautifully caramelized instead of steaming. You can always spread them onto two sheets if needed. Also, for the sauce, it’s totally fine if it looks a bit thick when you first mix it – just keep adding that water, a tablespoon at a time, until it’s the perfect drizzly consistency. Taste as you go, too! If you want more zing, add a splash more lemon juice. And for more roasted veggie inspiration, you should totally check out my other roasted veggie recipes!

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions for Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

Sometimes you need to tweak things in the kitchen, and that’s totally okay! For the veggies, pretty much anything you love will work wonders here. Sweet potatoes, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts – just cut them to about the same size so they cook evenly. If you don’t have plain yogurt, you can totally use sour cream for the sauce, or even a dairy-free yogurt if you’re going plant-based! And for the tahini, if it looks a little separated in the jar, just give it a good stir before you measure it out. Want more ideas on using yogurt?

Serving Suggestions for Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

This Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt dish is so versatile! I love serving it alongside grilled chicken or fish, or even as a fantastic side for something like my Mediterranean Chicken Gyros. Honestly, though, it’s hearty enough to be a light lunch or dinner all on its own, especially if you add some chickpeas or quinoa. It’s also a great way to jazz up a simple bowl, maybe over some rice or even as a topping for Philly Cheesesteak Bowls!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Got leftovers? Lucky you! To store, pop your roasted veggies and the tahini yogurt sauce in separate airtight containers in the fridge. They’ll keep nicely for about 3-4 days. When you’re ready to reheat, just give the veggies a quick warm-up in the oven or microwave. For the sauce, it might thicken up in the fridge, so just stir in a tiny splash of water to loosen it before drizzling!

Frequently Asked Questions about Roasted Veggie, Tahini Yogurt

Got questions about this dish? I totally get it, and I’m happy to help clear things up! Here are a few things people often ask:

Can I use frozen vegetables?

You *can*, but I’d really suggest fresh ones if you can swing it. Frozen veggies tend to release a lot of water when they cook, which means they might steam instead of getting those lovely roasted, caramelized edges we’re going for. If you *do* use them, make sure they’re thawed and patted really, really dry before you toss them with the oil and seasonings.

How long does the sauce last?

The tahini yogurt sauce is pretty forgiving! It’ll usually keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. Sometimes it might get a little thick, but a quick stir with a tiny bit of water usually brings it right back to its creamy, drizzly glory. It’s so handy to have it ready to go!

Can I make this vegan?

Oh, absolutely! To make this totally vegan, just swap out the regular yogurt for your favorite plant-based yogurt. Coconut yogurt or a plain, unsweetened soy or almond yogurt would work wonderfully. Everything else stays the same, and you’ll have a delicious vegan meal or side!

What if I don’t have tahini?

Tahini is pretty special, but if you’re out or have an allergy, you could try using a good quality cashew butter or even almond butter. The flavor will be a bit different, of course, but it should still give you that nice creaminess. Peanut butter might be a bit too strong, but hey, if you like it, go for it!
