Yeast Free Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Turmeric and Herbs

Colorful, fragrant, and deeply satisfying, this sheet pan dish brings together summer squash, sweet bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and crispy chickpeas in one glorious roast. The spice blend — turmeric, cumin, and smoked paprika — gives everything a warm, golden depth that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Because the recipe relies entirely on fresh vegetables, canned chickpeas, and pantry spices, there's no need to scan labels for hidden fermented ingredients or worry about yeast sneaking in through sauces or condiments. Roasting at high heat on a single layer is the key move here: it drives off moisture and coaxes caramelized edges rather than steamed, soggy results. A squeeze of lemon at the finish brightens all those earthy spices, and the optional feta adds a creamy, salty contrast that ties everything together. It works beautifully as a standalone meal or alongside a simple grain, and leftovers reheat just as well the next day.
