Ghee-Roasted Vegetable Medley

This simple yet delicious dish highlights the rich flavor of pure ghee while making a healthy, colorful, and nutrient-packed meal or side dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks
• 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
• 2-3 tablespoons pure ghee
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the vegetables:
   Wash and cut all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Ensure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Mix the seasoning:
   In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat the vegetables:
   In a large mixing bowl, add the vegetables and drizzle them with pure ghee. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the vegetables and toss well to coat evenly.
5. Roast the vegetables:
   Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Garnish and serve:
   Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added flavor and color.
7. Enjoy:
   Serve warm as a side dish, or pair it with rice, quinoa, or your favorite protein for a complete meal.
