Roasted Vegetables with Tzatziki | Quick & Easy!
Roasted Vegetables with Tzatziki combines roasted vegetables and bright tzatziki to make this easy meal a family favorite. This is one of my favorite meals for spring, and probably ever. The tangy and savory tzatziki tastes amazing with the veggie kabobs, and I love the texture of the pearl couscous. Don’t worry if you don’t have skewers, the veggies taste just as good roasted on a sheet pan.
Techniques for a perfect Mediterranean Roasted Vegetables with Tzatziki
- Get creative! Don’t worry if you don’t have this exact mix of vegetables, smoked paprika makes most veggies taste amazing. Broccoli, mushrooms, and cabbage would all be fantastic!
- Season to taste. Some Greek yogurts are much more tart than others, so the salt and lemon in this recipe are more a guide than a rule, taste it and add more if needed.
- Roast the veggies on an upper rack. Raising the rack gets the veggies closer to the heat to help them brown more quickly. Just be careful you don’t get the parchment paper to close to the element.
