👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    In a bowl, toss the vegetables, pepper, yellow pepper, onion and mushrooms with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper.

  3. 3
    Thread the vegetables alternately onto skewers and lay them on a baking sheet, without crowding.

  4. 4
    Roast the skewers in a hot oven (220°C / 430°F) 15–18 minutes, turning once, until the vegetables are browned and tender.
    ⚙ Oven roastingOvenBaking pan
    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.
  5. 5
    Mix the tahini, lemon juice and garlic and season with salt.
  6. 6
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.
    💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
  7. 7
    Serve the skewers with the tahini sauce.
