Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs shallots, quartered
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 large red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon coarse salt
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into bits

Steps:

  • Preheat 375°. Mix shallots with 1 tablespoon oil and roast in a shallow baking pan in lower third of oven 25 minutes.
  • Mix together squash, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, salt, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add roasted shallots and divide between 2 large shallow baking pans.
  • Dot vegetables in each pan with half of butter and roast in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring occasionally and switching position of pans halfway through roasting, until vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes total.

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables that are too soft, such as zucchini and mushrooms, will become mushy when roasted. Choose firmer vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, and Brussels sprouts, that will hold their shape.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If you have a variety of vegetables, cut them into pieces that are all about the same size.
  • Toss vegetables with oil and spices: This will help them brown and caramelize in the oven. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. As for spices, Moroccan-inspired spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika are a great option.
  • Roast vegetables at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and get crispy. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  • Roast vegetables until they are tender: This will vary depending on the type of vegetable. For example, carrots will take longer to cook than Brussels sprouts. Insert a fork into the vegetables to check for tenderness.

Conclusion:

Roasted Moroccan-style vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give roasted Moroccan-style vegetables a try!
