Roasted Vegetable Bowl : Vegan : Vegetarian : Gluten Free

The recipe I share today is vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, egg free and gluten free. It contains a very nice mix of vegetables and could be something you'd like to try!
A great recipe for batch cooking – leftovers can be enjoyed for lunch the next day at room temperature.


Ingredients
Serves Two
1 sweet potato (200g/7oz), unpeeled, cut into 15mm/⅝in chunks
½ cauliflower (about 250g/9oz), cut into small florets
1 large carrot, scrubbed and diagonally sliced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for oiling the tray
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika, hot or sweet
½ x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 large handfuls (around 50g/1¾oz) fresh young spinach leaves or mixed salad leaves
40g/1½oz radishes (around 6), thinly sliced
2 tbsp mixed seeds or 40g/1½oz mixed nuts
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing
1 tsp harissa paste
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray.
2. Scatter the sweet potatoes, cauliflower and carrot in single layers in different parts of the tray to keep separate. Drizzle over a tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the cumin. Roast for 18–20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
3. In a bowl, mix the paprika with the remaining tablespoon oil. Add the chickpeas and toss well. Take the baking tray out of the oven and add the spiced chickpeas. Season the vegetables and chickpeas with salt and pepper. Roast for 5 minutes, or until the chickpeas are hot and lightly toasted.
4. To make the dressing, whisk the harissa, lemon juice and oil together and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Divide the spinach leaves (or mixed salad leaves) between two shallow bowls.
6. Take the baking tray out of the oven and, using tongs or a spoon, arrange the vegetables and chickpeas on the leaves.
7. Add the radishes, sprinkle with the mixed seeds or nuts, and drizzle with the harissa dressing to serve.

That sounds delicious - though I would have to find a substitute for the cooked carrot. Any suggestions?

What is harissa paste? I don't cook much any longer, so not that important, but I have never heard of it.

It looks like a recipe that would lend itself well to substitutions too, minimising food waste. Hot for a substantial winter warmer and cold for a summer picnic. Thanks, Jan, for this versatile recipe! Debbie

Many thanks for your comment and question ...
Substitute for carrots could be - Parsnips, butternut squash, rutabaga/swede, or you could just increase slightly the other vegetables already in the recipe.

Hope these suggestions help

All the best Jan

Many thanks for your comment and question...
Harissa paste is a fiery North African paste that is orangey-red in colour. It’s a mixture of peppers, dried red chillies, garlic, caraway seeds, ground cumin and coriander, tomato purรฉe, salt and olive oil. It can be used as a condiment or as an ingredient in cooking and provides a real boost as an accompaniment to vegetables and pulses. Harissa can be bought ready-made in jars, or you can blend red chillies to create your own hot sauce, making it as fiery or as delicate as you want it to be.

Hello Jan, I love the concept of a Roasted Vegetable Bowl and the recipe looks great. And, I’m learning about something new ๐Ÿ˜Š harissa paste! Although I love spicy, somehow I’ve missed harissa. Probably because I’ve used chili sauce but just didn’t all the ingredients. Sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, radishes … love all those veggies so I don’t see how I can go wrong with this dish. Thank you for sharing it! I hope your January is getting off to a good start. I continue to learn from The Low Carb Diabetic and appreciate all the work you put into publishing it. Take care, Jan, and best regards from Seattle! John

Giorgio said...

It seems a well balanced vegetables bowl, considering there are also chickpeas! I like that harissa. It's a hot chili paste that originated in Tunisia.
Thanks :-)

Tom said...

...colorful!

Ananka said...

That looks great. Sweet potatoes are amazing :-D

Jeff said...

Sounds good and easy to prepare. I have never used harissa, but wonder if other pepper sauces might be used.

Sussi said...

Thanks for this! I have lots of sweet potatoes, and I was wondering what to make with it. I also like harissa very much

Lisabella Russo said...

Hello Jeff, many thanks for your comment and query about other possible sauces.
Possible substitutes for harissa could be :-
Sriracha sauce, gochujang, chili paste, red pepper flakes and tomato paste mix, and also a DIY blend of smoked paprika and cayenne pepper can all be used as alternatives to harissa paste.
