When all else fails, roasted veggies will always come to the rescue. Salty pistachios and cumin spiced chickpeas take this dish to the next level. For me, this dish is the ultimate comfort food – each bite of warm earthy goodness will help center your heart and soul.

The ultimate fall-back plan for when I just need something simple, nourishing and delicious, these roasted veggies will forever hold a special place in my kitchen during the colder months! I like to serve mine with a nice dollop of hummus and a sprinkle of sumac of fresh herbs. Feel free to substitute out any veggies that may be easily accessible to you when you're making this dish.
