A recipe that never fails to excite my Instagram followers whenever I share it in my stories. It’s obviously healthy, easily accessible almost year-round, and, most importantly, it couldn’t be simpler. Wash, chop, roast, blend. That’s it! The key is to use at least three different types of vegetables and enhance the final dish with great add-ons like cold-pressed olive oil or pumpkin seed oil, and a sprinkle of sesame or pumpkin seeds.
- 2 zucchini
- 2 yellow or green squash
- 1 large tomato
- 1 large sweet white onion
- 1 large carrot
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper
- 1/2–1 tsp. turmeric
- 1/3 tsp. ground chili
- olive oil
- salt
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wash the zucchini, squash, pepper, and carrot, and cut them into large chunks (about 2–3 cm). Peel the carrot and onion, then cut them into similarly sized pieces. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the vegetables in a single layer, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 60–80 minutes, depending on the size of the chunks. The vegetables should be soft and lightly caramelized.
Blend all the roasted vegetables in a blender until smooth, adding salt, 1/2–1 tsp turmeric, 1/3 tsp chili, and a generous pour of cold-pressed olive oil. Before serving, drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with seeds of your choice.
This is the perfect autumn dish for dinner, paired with poultry, fish, boiled eggs, or fresh goat cheese.
