This recipe is a delicious and healthy twist on traditional roti. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual weekend lunch. The vibrant roasted vegetables complement the nutty flavor of the tahini dressing beautifully. I first tried this when my friend, Sarah, made it for a potluck, and I immediately knew I had to share it with you all.

The beauty of this dish is its versatility. Feel free to experiment with your favorite vegetables. One time, I even added some roasted chickpeas for extra protein! The tahini dressing is also super adaptable—you can adjust the amount of lemon juice or water to change the consistency and flavor. It's a wonderfully simple dish that's both satisfying and healthy. Enjoy creating your very own culinary adventure.

šŸ½ Ingredients

šŸ“– Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is crucial for perfectly roasted veggies!
  2. Wash and prep your veggies: Peel and chop your carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers into roughly 1-inch pieces. If using broccoli, cut into florets. Toss everything in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other herbs you fancy (I love a little rosemary!). Spread the veggies in a single layer on your large baking sheet.
  3. Roast the veggies: Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; every oven is a little different!
  4. While the veggies roast, make the roti dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 cup of warm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add a little more water if needed to create a soft, slightly sticky dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rest for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Prepare the tahini dressing: In a food processor (or a bowl if you're feeling ambitious and want a good workout!), combine 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1 clove minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a little black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water if necessary to reach your desired consistency. You may need to experiment a bit to get the ideal thickness--tahini varies!
  6. Make the rotis: Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter). Don't worry about perfection--rustic is charming!
  7. Cook the rotis: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each roti for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. If using a nonstick surface, minimal oil is needed, otherwise, add a touch of oil to the pan.
  8. Assemble and enjoy!: Place a roti on a plate, top with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables, and drizzle with the tahini dressing. Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro) if you have them. Serve immediately and relish the fantastic flavors!

šŸ“ Notes

  • If your dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until it comes together. If it's too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Be creative!
