Spicy Roasted Veggies

Here's a simple dish that's perfect for winter! Potatoes, zucchini, cauliflower, chickpeas are mixed with paprika, chilli, cayenne pepper, cumin, garam masala and oregano then baked until they're crispy. To complement the veggies, I made a delicious dip with Dibble Sour Cream (which I've reiterated the recipe to make it super creamy!), shallots, garlic, chives, parsley and extra virgin olive oil. I topped it with fresh parsley and chilli oil for an extra kick. Happy cooking!
