Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced carrots, potatoes, and green beans with 1 tbsp oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric, and 1 tsp cumin powder in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then roast for 20 minutes until edges are slightly caramelized.
  3. Step 3: While vegetables roast, toast sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until golden, then stir into the vegetables along with sliced onion and remaining 1 tbsp oil after roasting is complete, tossing to coat evenly.
