Roasted Vegetables with Hummus

Roasted broccoli, Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes topped with hummus and sprinkled with sesame and sunflower seeds. This is a healthy vegan and gluten free dish that can be served as a main or a side.

Hummus

I didn’t use any tahini for this recipe, I thought the texture was great this way and the lemon and garlic were flavorful enough. Besides, it makes the dish more affordable as tahini can be pretty expensive.

It’s always convenient to have canned chickpeas in your kitchen cabinet, no need for soaking and cooking. Plus, you can keep the aquafaba (chickpea water) to make vegan meringues.

If you prefer to use dried chickpeas, soak overnight and cook for 45 minutes in unsalted water before moving on with the recipe.

Keep the hummus refrigerated until use. You can drizzle it on the vegetables or put it in a small bowl as a dip.

Roasted Vegetables

I blanch the vegetables before roasting them, they are easier to digest and I also find that they don’t get dry like they would without blanching.

Plunge them all together in boiling salted water for a couple of minutes and then transfer into an iced bath. Drain well and mix with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Transfer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 450°F for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
