Roasting root vegetables is a tradition that spans the globe. Here’s a delicious and fragrant Indian take, where beets, carrots, and turnips are tossed with Indian spices and finished with lime juice. Not boring!

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. While the oven preheats, toss all of the diced root vegetables with the oil, salt, cumin, Kashmiri chile powder, and turmeric.
  2. Place the vegetables on a baking tray in a single layer, using two baking trays if necessary.
  3. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until edges are crisp and brown and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Toss the roasted vegetables with lime juice, chaat masala, onions, and cilantro and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
