Spiced Roast Cauliflower, Sweet Potato and Okra with Yogurt and Almonds
Introduction from Rukmini Iyer
This all-in-one smoky, roasted vegetable dish gives you all the flavour of a slow-cooked curry, without any of the stirring. If you feel like extra carbs alongside, serve it with a bowl of brown rice or bulgur wheat.
Ingredients
Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.
Place the cauliflower and sweet potato chunks in a large roasting tin. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin and olive oil, then drizzle half this mixture over the cauliflower and sweet potato along with a good pinch of sea salt. Mix well to coat, then cover the tin with foil and place in the oven to roast for 20 minutes.
Mix the remaining spiced oil with the okra, and set aside.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil from the roasting tin, scatter over the okra, season generously with sea salt, then return the tin, uncovered, to the oven for a further 20 minutes.
For the dressing, mix together the yogurt and lemon juice and set aside. Serve the vegetables hot from the oven, drizzled with the yogurt dressing, and scattered with the toasted flaked almonds, red onion and herbs.
