How to Prepare the Vegetables
Start by cutting the broccoli into smaller florets and soaking it in hot salted water for about 10 minutes. While the broccoli is soaking, prepare the remaining vegetables.
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrot. Slice the onion and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Drain the broccoli and place all the vegetables together in a large bowl.
Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, red paprika, mixed herbs, and dried garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and mix thoroughly until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Roast the Vegetables
Transfer the seasoned vegetables to a baking dish or tray and spread them out evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly roasted.
Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Prepare the Creamy Cucumber-Dill Sauce
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the sauce.
Mix mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream in a small bowl. Add finely chopped cucumber and fresh dill. Season with a little salt and black pepper, then stir everything together until well combined.
The result is a creamy, fresh, and aromatic sauce that pairs perfectly with the roasted vegetables.
