Moroccan Style Pomegranate Roast Veg Salad Recipes

ROASTED MOROCCAN-STYLE VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the oil, lemon juice, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, coriander, cinnamon, cumin and ginger in a large bowl. Add the onions, eggplant, sweet potatoes and tomatoes and toss well to fully coat the vegetables. Divide among the prepared baking sheets and arrange in a single layer. Roast until the sweet potatoes and eggplant are lightly browned and fully softened, 50 to 55 minutes, rotating trays and switching from top to bottom halfway through.
• Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl. Toss with the apricots, cilantro and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season to taste with salt.

MOROCCAN VEGETABLE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Arrange the cucumber, potato and pepper slices, and the pitted olives on a serving plate or in a dish.
• 2. Season with salt, if you like. (Olives tend to be very salty so you may not wish to add any extra salt.)
• 3. Sprinkle the garlic, onions, olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice over the salad. Chill for at least 1 hour. Before serving, sprinkle with the chopped mint leaves and cilantro leaves.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH POMEGRANATE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Roast the vegetables: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss together vegetables and oil in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables evenly on 2 rimmed baking sheets, and roast until golden, mixing halfway through, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Transfer pomegranate juice to a bowl. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• Just before serving, drizzle vinaigrette over warm vegetables, and toss with pomegranate seeds.
