Brazil Nut Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs
Colorful, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, this sheet pan dish brings together tender zucchini, sweet bell peppers, caramelized onion, juicy cherry tomatoes, and lightly crisped chickpeas in one glorious roast. The combination of turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika gives everything a warm, golden depth that smells incredible the moment it hits the oven. Spreading the vegetables in a single layer is the key move here ā it guarantees those gorgeous caramelized edges instead of a soggy, steamed result. Adding the garlic partway through roasting is a smart touch that keeps it from burning while still infusing the whole pan with rich, savory flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens everything up, and the optional crumbled feta adds a creamy, salty finish that takes it over the top. Every ingredient on this list is naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress ā just straightforward, wholesome cooking. It works beautifully as a hearty vegetarian main or a vibrant side alongside grilled proteins.
