1broccolihead chopped into florets
Tzatziki
1small cucumber
1cupthick dairy-free yogurtI used soy
¼cupfresh dillfinely chopped
1garlic clovesminced
2tbsplemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
½cupcherry tomatoeschopped in half
10almondsroughly chopped
Instructions
Prepare the roasted veggies: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly with the skin on (for a more nutrient-dense option!) and chop them into wedges shape.
In a large bowl, mix together the diced potatoes, lemon zest, thyme, oregano, onion flakes, a pinch of salt, plus 1½ teaspoons (8 ml) of the olive oil. Ensure the potatoes are well coated.
Spread the potatoes on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
In the same large mixing bowl, combine the harissa, maple syrup, cumin, the remaining half of the olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Add the chickpeas and broccoli florets, mixing well to coat them thoroughly.
Add the chickpeas and broccoli to the baking tray with the potatoes and continue to bake for an additional 20 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, place the almonds in an oven-safe dish and bake for 7 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and chop roughly. Alternatively you can use pre-roasted almonds.
Prepare the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber and use a clean cloth to squeeze out any excess water. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the soy yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, spread the tzatziki in a bowl. Add the roasted vegetables on top, followed by the tomatoes and almonds. Enjoy!

Notes
Potatoes: The skin of the potatoes contains lots of nutrients. If possible, keep them on. If you're using larger potatoes, chop in a similar size than the wedges in my video, or if keeping them in larger bites, consider cooking them for 30 minutes before adding the chickpeas and broccoli. Cooking time: All ovens are a bit different. Make sure the chickpeas are slightly crispy and the potatoes golden before removing from the oven. Almonds: You can skip the almond roasting step and use pre-roasted almonds. Dill: I like to keep a little bit of extra fresh dill to sprinkle on the top of the dish asgarnish, but that's totally optional.
