Ingredients

• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 300 grams cauliflower florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Step 4

Spread the spiced vegetables in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the broccoli and cauliflower are tender and slightly crisp around the edges.

Step 5

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, honey, and plain Greek yogurt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 6

Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the top and gently toss to combine.

Step 8

Garnish the salad with chopped fresh parsley and sliced almonds if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
