The Ultimate Spice Mix For Roasted Vegetables

by

Greens are a huge part of my diet, and I especially love roasted vegetables for their ease of preparation, versatility, and the way they jazz up any meal. This spice mix is so good I use it on almost every type of vegetable that I want to roast – e.g. zucchinis, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, squash, beets, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, and many more!

This recipe is a FIT adaptation of the original mix that my brother developed for his epic summer BBQs. The perfect balance of sweet, spicy and salty brings out the warmth and natural nuttiness of whatever produce you put it on. The first time I had it was on roasted corn (which is incredible) and now I’ve come to rely on it as a way to keep my daily vegetable consumption interesting. I like to chop up a bunch of vegetables from my CSA produce box, toss with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle everything with a generous coating of this spice mix. While the food cooks in the oven, I chill out or do chores around the house. Throughout the week, I eat the roasted veggies on top of salads or as a complement to entrees with quinoa or protein. Enjoy!
