Method

Make the sheet pan veggies and beans.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a baking sheet that fits all your veggies and beans in a single layer. If the sheet is too large, the veggies may dry out. If it is too small, they will overlap and get mushy. A baking sheet around 11x13" works well.
  2. Chop all the veggies if you haven't already. Drain your beans. Add the beans and chopped vegetables to the parchment-lined baking sheet. (Or use a large bowl to toss veggies with the spice mixture and then spread on baking sheet)
  3. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of lemon juice. If it’s still too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to make a thin dressing that will coat the vegetables evenly.
  4. Drizzle the spice mixture over the beans and vegetables on the baking sheet and toss well with a spatula to coat everything evenly. It will take about a minute to get everything really well coated. Spread everything into a single layer on the sheet with no overlap.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, stir the veggies and beans. If they’re starting to dry out, loosely cover the baking sheet with another sheet of parchment paper and continue baking. Check the potatoes and carrots after another 5 to 10 minutes. If they are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. If not, bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the lemon yogurt sauce.

  1. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a bowl, add the non-dairy yogurt, lemon zest, grated garlic, salt, and ground coriander. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. For extra flavor, you can add black pepper, ground cumin, or herbs like dill or thyme. Set the sauce aside.
  2. Once the roasted vegetables and beans are ready, remove them from the oven. You can serve this dish in several ways. For a veggie summer meal, serve the warm vegetables with the creamy sauce on a plate. Spread the yogurt sauce on the plate, top with the roasted veggies and beans, and garnish with micro sprouts, chopped cucumber or onion, fresh herbs, sesame or hemp seeds, and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
  3. To serve as a wrap, warm a pita or naan, spread yogurt sauce over it, add the roasted veggies, drizzle more yogurt sauce on top, and finish with garnishes like sprouts, onions, cucumbers, sesame seeds, and lemon juice. Serve immediately.
  4. Storage: Store the roasted veggie mixture and yogurt sauce separately. Serve them cold as needed or reheat the veggie and beans in the oven or a skillet and serve.
