Honey Roasted Veggies with Yogurt Sauce
Oven roasted veggies get an upgrade with this yogurt sauce! Even without it though, the carrots and cauliflower have the perfect caramelization to them and the perfect mix of sweet with a tiny kick. Then add the yogurt and you have a cool and fresh topping for the veggies. Really, so good!
Ingredients
- 8 large carrots, peeled and ends cut off
- 1/2 head cauliflower, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
Creamy Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp fresh mint
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots and cauliflower with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread out on baking sheet and roast for about 35 minutes or until the thickest carrots are fork tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the honey with crushed red pepper. Once the veggies are fork tender, remove from oven and drizzle honey mix over the top. Stir the veggies on the baking sheet and place back in oven for about 10 minutes or until looking a little browned.
- In a food processor add the yogurt, lemon juice, fresh parsley, fresh mint, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and combined. Some larger pieces of herbs are okay.
- Plate the veggies! Lay the carrots and cauliflower down first then spoon over the yogurt sauce. Sprinkle the pistachios on top and use more fresh parsley for garnish. Enjoy!
