Ingredients

1 (1½-pound) head purple, white or orange cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

1¼ to 1½ pounds winter squash (such as kabocha, delicata, butternut or honey nut) halved, seeded, and cut into 1-inch-thick crescents or rounds

1 pound broccolini or sprouting broccoli, trimmed

1 pound carrots, trimmed, peeled, halved lengthwise

1 fennel bulb, trimmed but core left intact, cut lengthwise into 8 wedges

1 large red onion, peeled but root left intact, cut lengthwise into 8 wedges

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

½ teaspoon fine sea salt, more for sprinkling

½ cup whole-milk yogurt

1 garlic clove, finely grated

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, more to taste

Apple cider vinegar, for drizzling

Hot honey, for drizzling

Cumin seeds or white sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Pomegranate seeds, for sprinkling (optional)

1 cup chopped cilantro, mint or parsley

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line 3 large rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Lay vegetables out on the pans, keeping the same kinds together. Drizzle vegetables with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt. Roast vegetables until tender and golden, flipping them halfway, and using a wide spatula or tongs to remove them from the pans as they are done. The timing will look like this: broccolini, 10 to 15 minutes; red onions, 15 to 20; fennel, 20 to 25; cauliflower, 25 to 35; squash, 30 to 35; carrots, 30 to 40.

While the vegetables are roasting, put yogurt in a small bowl. Whisk in grated garlic, lemon juice and ½ teaspoon salt. Taste for seasoning, and add more lemon juice and salt as needed.

Arrange the roasted vegetables artfully on a platter. Top with dollops of garlicky yogurt. Drizzle with more olive oil, apple cider vinegar and hot honey. Sprinkle with cumin seeds or sesame seeds, pomegranate seeds and chopped cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature.
