MORROCAN-SPICED ROASTED VEGETABLES

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Roast     Vegetarian     Dinner     Winter     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds shallots, halved (or quartered if large)
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon coarse salt
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss shallots with 1 tablespoon oil and roast in a shallow baking pan in lower third of oven 25 minutes. Toss together squash, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, salt, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add roasted shallots and divide between 2 large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans. Dot vegetables in each pan with half of butter and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes total.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Firm vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and zucchini hold their shape better during roasting and won't turn mushy.
  • Cut vegetables uniformly: Cutting vegetables into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A mix of vegetables adds color, texture, and flavor to the dish. Try using a combination of root vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, and leafy greens.
  • Toss vegetables in oil and spices: Coating the vegetables in oil and spices before roasting helps them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
  • Roast vegetables at a high temperature: High heat helps the vegetables roast quickly and evenly. Aim for a temperature between 400°F and 450°F.
  • Stir vegetables occasionally: Stirring the vegetables during roasting helps them cook evenly and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season vegetables to taste: Once the vegetables are roasted, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.

Conclusion:

Moroccan-spiced roasted vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
