Herb's take

Inspired by the roasted veggie bowls of California’s plant-forward kitchens, this dinner is all about coaxing deep flavor from humble produce. The technique to master here: high-heat roasting for crispy edges and creamy centers.

Instructions

  1. 01
    Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment if you have it.
  2. 02
    In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Spread potatoes on one baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. 03
    In the same bowl, toss broccoli florets and bell pepper slices with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cumin. Spread these on the second baking sheet.
  4. 04
    Roast both trays in the oven. After 20 minutes, flip the potatoes and veggies, swapping tray positions if baking unevenly. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are golden and vegetables have crisp, charred edges.
  5. 05
    While the veggies roast, make the avocado-lemon drizzle: In a bowl, mash the avocado flesh until smooth. Add lemon juice and zest, remaining olive oil, remaining salt and pepper, and water. Whisk or blend until creamy and pourable.
  6. 06
    Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. 07
    To serve, divide roasted potatoes, broccoli, and bell peppers among four bowls. Drizzle generously with the avocado-lemon sauce and sprinkle extra lemon zest if desired.
