Description

Ingredients

• Marinade:
• 5 fat garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, sliced
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• 1 tsp paprika ( not smoked)
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ cup plain yogurt ( dont use non-fat)
• 1 ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoon sugar or honey or maple
• 2 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
• ------
• 4-5 chicken thighs ( 1 ½ pounds, boneless, skinless) OR 16 ounces tofu filets about 1 inch thick or 1.5 pounds fish ( or half and half)
• 1 layer of vegetables, sliced or diced ½ inch thick ( carrots, winter squash, sweet potato,onion, cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, parsnips ...etc.)
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper Serve over - cooked grain, couscous, chickpeas ( all optional, you can simple eat the protein and veggies if you wish)
• Garnish : cilantro, scallions.

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425F
• Place all marinade ingredients together in a blender. Blend until smooth. Set ⅛ cup aside.
• Place chicken or tofu in a bowl ( if using both, use separate bowls) and pour remaining marinade over top reserving the ⅛ cup for basting. Set chicken/ tofu aside.
• Cut veggies to roughly ½ inch and place on a parchment lined sheet-pan. You want them fairly similar in thickness so they cook in about the same amount of time. Toss veggies with olive oil, salt and pepper and spread out.
• Place chicken / tofu over the veggies, spooning a couple teaspoons of the marinade over the veggies if you like. Go light.
• Bake 30 minutes in the middle of the oven.
• Baste the chicken and tofu with a little more of the remaining marinade. Bake 10 minutes or until chicken is done and veggies are tender.
• Notes: If going with fish, roast the veggies for 20 minutes first ( or longer) before adding the fish -- it will not need to cook as long.
