Indian Spiced Roasted Vegetables is perfect for a Meatless Monday meal all by itself! While looking for a new spin on veggie preparation, I came across this recipe on http://mjandhungryman.com listed as Roasted Cauliflower, Tomatoes, Chickpeas w/Indian Spices. It compliments any meal as a side dish. It’s so vibrant in color and full of nutrients, I can’t stand it! The flavor is bold and delightful to the senses. It’s perfect the way it is, with one exception. I used lime juice instead of lemon juice. I love the lime-cilantro combination!
