Pistachio Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs
Colorful, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, this sheet pan dish brings together a rainbow of summer vegetables and golden chickpeas roasted until their edges caramelize and crisp. The combination of turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika gives everything a warm, earthy depth that smells absolutely incredible coming out of the oven. Spreading the vegetables in a single layer is the key move here — it's what separates a truly roasted, slightly charred result from a soggy, steamed disappointment. Adding the garlic partway through keeps it from burning while still infusing the whole pan with that rich, savory aroma. A bright squeeze of lemon juice at the end pulls everything together and lifts all those bold spices beautifully. Finished with fresh flat-leaf parsley and optional crumbled feta, it's the kind of dish that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Every ingredient is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so you can serve it confidently to a crowd without scanning a single label.
