Tahini (sesame paste) is:
- rich in healthy fats.
- a good source of B vitamins, magnesium, copper, phosphorus, manganese, iron and zinc.
- helpful in balancing hormones.
- heart protective, by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
You can use any vegetables of choice here which are good for roasting. I like to use cauliflower, carrot, eggplant, zucchini, sweet potatoes, bell peppers and mushrooms.
