Rainbow veggies roasted to perfection with garlic, olive oil and turmeric, then drizzled with a sweet and spicy chipotle honey yogurt dressing. Throw in some quinoa or enjoy with grilled chicken or salmon as a main dish!
Let’s talk about this whole Thanksgiving situation coming up. What are you making and what are your family recipe staples? I want to know because I’m always looking to add something new and exciting to the menu.
This year I plan on making my sweet potato casserole, cranberry orange sauce, some sort of cherry pie (OMG YES), buttery biscuits, a spinach pear salad and roasted butternut squash. Last year we tried Heartbeet Kitchen’s honey carrots, which were SO INSANELY GOOD I nearly ate them all myself.
Is it just me or is Thanksgiving one of the hardest menus to nail down? You don’t want to keep it too traditional, but you still want to have everyone’s favorite dishes. My favorite rule to follow is to add 2-3 new dishes each year and see which ones do the best with your guests. They’ll still get the traditional turkey, gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes galore, but they’ll also have crazy good salads with kale and naturally sweetened cranberry orange sauce (a new staple for us!).
This year, a new kind of veggie situation is about to go down. Something different and absolutely delicious. Enter Roasted Rainbow Veggies… with a chipotle (!!!) honey yogurt dressing.
Does this sound weird? Maybe it does and maybe it doesn’t. All I know is that I made it for myself for dinner one night and paired it with the yogurt sauce for dipping. I was SO obsessed that I made it again a few days later for lunch.
There was something incredibly special about the warm, tender flavorful vegetables drizzled with a creamy, slightly sweet and spicy, tangy greek yogurt dressing. Seriously DROOL. If my adjectives don’t convince you then the flavors of the dish will. I’m certain.
This isn’t a side dish that’s overly complicated and it’s not necessary to make it for Thanksgiving. In fact it makes a wonderful lunch, especially with some cooked quinoa or shredded chicken tossed in. But as I always say, you do you!
If you aren’t into brussels sprouts, no problem! Try green beans instead.
