Why You’ll Love Tray Baked Aloo Gobhi Matar

One-tray wonder: Minimal cleanup and hands-off cooking.

Bold Indian flavors: Classic spice mix brings warmth and depth.

Healthy & hearty: Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nutrient-rich.

Meal-prep friendly: Stores and reheats beautifully.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for this roasted Indian vegetable tray bake:

Vegetables - I used fresh cauliflowers, red onion, sweet potatoes and green peas. In the traditional recipe, white potatoes are used instead of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes and white potatoes are both good sources of complex carbohydrates.

Sweet potatoes: Excellent for their high vitamin A content and potential for blood sugar regulation, making them a good choice for overall health and weight management. 
White potatoes: A good source of resistant starch and vitamin C, with a more neutral flavor that can be used in various dishes. 

Yogurt - I like to make a yogurt base marinate for the vegetables. It helps to soften the vegetables and enhances the flavor.

Ginger, Garlic and Green chili paste - use fresh garlic, ginger and green chili to make a paste.

Spices - Garam Masala powder and dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) is all I used apart from salt and little sugar.

Steps to prepare Aloo Gobhi Matar - Tray Baked

Chop the Vegetables - Whatever vegetables you are adding, make sure to chop in similar size.

Make the Marinade - The marinade can be of your choice. You can add whatever spice you like. I used yogurt with dried fenugreek leaves, garam masala, salt, sugar and mustard oil.

Marinate the vegetables in the yogurt mixture and then leave it aside for a couple hours in the fridge.

When you are ready to bake, drizzle a bit more oil and bake until it's all cooked through.

Once it's almost done, add the peas and bake for some more time.

Finally drizzle cilantro leaves, squeeze lemon juice and enjoy while warm.
