Almond Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs

This sheet pan dinner is a riot of color and warmth — tender zucchini, sweet bell peppers, jammy cherry tomatoes, and lightly crisped chickpeas all roasted together until caramelized at the edges and deeply fragrant. The combination of turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika gives every bite a bold, earthy depth that feels anything but ordinary. A hit of fresh lemon juice right out of the oven brightens the whole dish and ties the spices together beautifully. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just straightforward, wholesome cooking. The trick to getting that gorgeous caramelization is spreading everything in a single layer and adding the garlic halfway through, which keeps it from burning while still infusing the vegetables with flavor. Finished with fresh flat-leaf parsley and optional crumbled feta, it works as a satisfying main or a generous side that can feed a crowd straight from the pan.
