Pork Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs

Colorful, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, this sheet pan dish is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Two kinds of squash, vibrant bell peppers, sweet cherry tomatoes, and hearty chickpeas all roast together at high heat until caramelized at the edges and tender all the way through. The spice blend — turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika — gives everything a warm, golden depth that smells absolutely incredible coming out of the oven. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the whole thing up and ties the flavors together beautifully. Garlic goes in halfway through roasting so it softens and sweetens without burning, which is a small step that makes a big difference. Finished with fresh parsley and optional crumbled feta, this is a complete, crowd-pleasing meal that happens to be naturally free of any pork products — no substitutions or workarounds needed, just honest, wholesome ingredients doing all the work.
