Hazelnut Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs
This sheet pan dinner is a riot of color and warmth ā tender zucchini, sweet bell peppers, jammy cherry tomatoes, and crispy chickpeas all roasted together until caramelized and deeply fragrant. The spice blend of turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika gives everything a golden, earthy depth that feels both bold and comforting. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the whole dish and ties all those Mediterranean flavors together beautifully. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved ā just honest, wholesome produce and pantry staples. The trick to getting those gorgeous caramelized edges is spreading everything in a single layer and adding the garlic halfway through so it softens without burning. Crumbled feta on top is optional but highly recommended for a salty, creamy finish. It works equally well as a hearty side or a satisfying main served over grains or with warm flatbread.
