Himalayan Pink Salt Granules can be used in a variety of delicious ways to enhance your meals with natural minerals and a subtle yet rich flavor. One of the most popular and simple methods of enjoying this salt is by seasoning roasted vegetables. Below is a detailed guide on how to prepare perfectly seasoned roasted vegetables using Himalayan Pink Salt Granules.
Ingredients:
3 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt Granules (fine grind)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or oregano)
Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Try to keep sizes uniform to ensure even cooking. Carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli are excellent choices for roasting, as they develop a wonderful sweetness when cooked.
Step 2: Season the Vegetables
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil. Drizzle the oil evenly and toss the vegetables gently to coat them. Sprinkle the Himalayan Pink Salt Granules evenly over the vegetables. Use the fine grind salt for better distribution and absorption. Add freshly ground black pepper and dried herbs to enhance the taste. If using, mix in the minced garlic for an extra flavor boost.
Step 3: Roast the Vegetables
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized with a golden-brown edge.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the vegetables from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. You can sprinkle a little extra Himalayan Pink Salt Granules on top for a finishing touch if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or mix them into salads, grain bowls, or pasta dishes for a flavorful mineral-rich addition to your meal.
