Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a half-sheet pan (about 9x13 inches) with parchment paper. Peel and cut 1 large carrot into 1/2-inch thick sticks. Cut 1 medium zucchini and 1 medium red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Slice 1 small red onion into wedges.
  2. Step 2: Toss all prepared vegetables with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until vegetables are tender and caramelized at edges.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over roasted vegetables just before serving.
