If you are looking for ways to give vegetables a boost of flavour then Roasted Vegetable and Chickpeas with Za\u2019atar, Mint and Feta is the way to go! A combination of sweet potato, red onions and carrots are roasted with a mix of middle eastern spices \u2014 called za\u2019atar. Same goes for the chickpeas, but with a pinch of chili flakes. All of which are served with a squeeze of lemon, fresh mint, toasted pine nuts and crumbled feta cheese. Such a tasty combo! And it\u2019s super easy to make, and can be eaten both warm and cold.<\/p>\n

Za’atar – a spice worth getting to know<\/h2>\n

If you aren\u2019t already familiar with za\u2019atar, this is your chance to give it a try. It\u2019s one of my favorite spice blends; full of flavor, it goes perfectly with all sorts of vegetables and pairs well with mint and lemon. This middle eastern spice blend made from sun dried herbs (thyme, marjoram, oregano), ground sumac and lightly toasted sesame seeds. You can find it at your local turkish supermarket, spice market (e.g. Kr\u00e4uterhexe Isemarkt or Violas<\/a>), online<\/a> or even make it your self. I even have my own recipe for za\u2019atar<\/a> and some other tips here on my blog.<\/p>\n

Sumac – a key ingredient in middle eastern Za’atar<\/h2>\n

One of the main ingredients is sumac. If you haven\u2019t heard of if before, I definitely recommend trying it. Ground sumac comes from dried sumac berries and tastes a little lemony, a little sour, a little fruity. It\u2019s also fantastic added to roasted vegetables or salad dressings, or even as a garnish.<\/p>\n
