Roasted vegetables are the staple of my Shabbos meals and weekday dinners, and this is a super delicious way to incorporate it into a starchy side. If you’re like my husband and like your vegetables very well done (I’ve accepted that this is a lost cause), keep them in the oven for an additional 30–60 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine two teaspoons of salt with remaining spices and brown sugar. Lay vegetables on two Gefen Parchment-covered baking sheets and drizzle with oil, then cover with spices. Mix well and roast for one hour, stirring once in the middle.
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a small saucepan and add rice and remaining teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and toss with veggie mixture.

Very tasty
Freezer friendly? Can I make this dish in advance and freeze it? Or will the veggies get soggy/soft?
The veggies should get a drop wilted, but I don’t think it will affect the taste much. Be sure to warm up covered.
Healthier Can I leave out the brown sugar?
Totally.
Great, flavoursome, healthy, delicious! I found it hard to reheat for a Shabbos meal without it getting dry though.
Amazing! This has become my newest recipe to add to my yom tov side dishes rotation!!
Extremely popular by all!
Just Awesome I made this tonight and it came out great! It was very easy and quick to make. I did feel that it needed salt though so I added some to taste.
Really delicious! The veggie/spice mixture is perfect. I also once served this room temperature, subbing orzo for the rice, and it was a perfect shalosh seudos dish. Thank you!
Love this! Great recipe. My new go-to. I sometimes sub carrots for sweet potato. Also have eaten it over quinoa and just plain. Highly recommend.
So colorful.
Loaded veggie rice Sooo flavorful!! Delicious!! I only put 2 pinches of the cayenne pepper which added a little kick but not too much heat. This is a Friday night keeper.
