    Turmeric roasted vegetables served on a thin layer of hummus on a platter.

    I love these roasted turmeric vegetables served on a thin layer of hummus! The flavor of the roasted vegetables is fantastic, and the creaminess of the hummus brings the dish together. This turmeric vegetable recipe is based on a meal we enjoy at one of our favorite vegan-friendly restaurants, Pita Jungle.

    What is Turmeric?

    Turmeric root and powdered turmeric on the counter.

    Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow color. It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb. Research has shown that turmeric contains compounds with medicinal properties.

    These compounds are called curcuminoids. The most important one is curcumin which is the main active ingredient in turmeric.

    Here are the top 10 evidence-based health benefits of turmeric and curcumin.

    The Benefits of Turmeric

    Turmeric — and especially its most active compound, curcumin — has many scientifically proven health benefits, such as the potential to improve heart health and prevent Alzheimer’s and cancer.

    It’s a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis.

    Adding black pepper to turmeric makes it even better.  Black pepper contains a compound called piperine that helps to increase the rate at which the body absorbs turmeric. Research shows that piperine can increase the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%.

    Turmeric Vegetables Ingredients

    Turmeric roasted vegetable ingredients: broccoli, cauliflower, onion, carrots, zucchini, hummus, turmeric powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Cauliflower: Cauliflower is fat-free and cholesterol-free. And it's low in sodium. A one-cup serving contains only 25 calories.
    • Zucchini: Zucchini is rich in vitamin B6. Research suggests that this vitamin can help with regulating blood glucose. The vitamin may even play a protective role against diabetes. Lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eye's cells by filtering blue light wavelengths.
    • Broccoli: Broccoli contains many vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Broccoli's benefits include helping reduce inflammation, stabilizing blood sugar, and strengthening the immune system.
    • Onions: I used white onion, which sweetens when roasted.
    • Carrots: Carrots have a whole of benefits—they may promote healthy vision, balance your blood sugar, help with weight management, lower your risk of cancer, regulate blood pressure, reduce heart disease, improve immunity, and boost brain health. You won't regret incorporating more of this vegetable into your diet.
    • Turmeric Powder: Turmeric is promoted as a dietary supplement for various conditions, including arthritis, digestive disorders, respiratory infections, allergies, liver disease, depression, and many others. Turmeric is a common spice and a major ingredient in curry powder.
    • Garlic Powder: Garlic powder can aid in regulating high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and boost the immune system. It is also a great resource to help aid in digestion. The simple spice contains nutrients such as vitamin B, calcium, and iron.
    • Salt/Pepper: Salt enhances flavor; pepper adds flavor. But when pepper is added to turmeric, it makes it absorb more for better anti-inflammatory properties.
    • Hummus: I used Cedar's oil-free hummus.

    Turmeric Vegetables Ingredients Substitutions

    • Choose any combination of vegetables with a similar roasting time.
    • Try using flavored hummus for additional flavor.
    • The general rule of thumb for converting dried herbs or spices to fresh in a recipe is 1-to-3. Approximately 1 teaspoon of dried turmeric equals 3 teaspoons — 1 tablespoon — of fresh turmeric.
    • Make your own hummus, such as this avocado hummus recipe.

    How to Roast Turmeric Roasted Vegetable Recipe

    Vegetables on a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat seasoned with turmeric, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
    • Remove the core from the cauliflower head and cut the cauliflower into equal-sized florets.
    • Do the same to the head of broccoli.
    • Cut the zucchinis into similar-sized ¼-inch coins. I used a crinkle cutter for a unique cut.
    • Peel and cut the carrots into similar-sized coins.
    • The onion is cut into thick slivers.
    • Wash the vegetables and leave them slightly wet so the seasoning sticks to the vegetables.
    • Lay the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.
    • Sprinkle the turmeric, garlic powder and salt and pepper on the vegetables.
    • Roast for 30 minutes.
    • In the meantime, spread hummus in a thin layer on the base of a serving platter.
    Hummus is spread on a platter ina thin layer.
    • Remove the vegetables from the oven and place them on the platter with the hummus.
    Roasted vegetables next to a platter with hummus.
    • Eat the roasted turmeric vegetables directly from the platter or scoop them onto individual plates.
    The recipe is on a platter with a thin layer of hummus.

    Recipe FAQs

    What are the benefits of turmeric?

    Like other colorful plant-based foods, turmeric is rich in phytonutrients that may protect the body by neutralizing free radicals (pollution, sunlight) and shielding the cells from damage. Diets rich in plant-based foods are associated with preventing medical conditions such as cancer and heart disease.

    How quickly does turmeric work for inflammation?

    Depending on your body mass and condition, it will usually take  4-8 weeks for you to start noticing improvements in your body and mind.

    Is turmeric good for your liver?

    In addition, turmeric also aids bile production, which supports the liver detoxification process and prevents fat build-up in the body while restoring liver function. Therefore, turmeric is one of the most popular herbal remedies for fatty liver treatment.

    Tips

    • Vegetables with a similar roast time help to ensure the vegetables cook evenly.
    • Preheat the oven before cooking the vegetables.
    • Cutting the vegetables into similar sizes helps them cook evenly.
    • Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat prevents vegetables from sticking without using oils or cooking sprays.
    • Try this avocado hummus recipe instead of buying hummus.
