I served this with the Honey Soy Chicken and my whole family enjoyed the meal. This is a very easy dish, the amounts for the spices are approximate, use your own judgment and adjust the amounts according to your family’s tastes.
Turmeric is the star in this dish, despite the small amount used. It takes just a pinch of turmeric to brighten the dish to a lovely yellow and add just a hint of something unexpected.
Turmeric is a fragrant and mellow spice, and I really enjoy what it adds to this recipe. However, if you don’t have it on hand, you can certainly skip it.
I’ve roasted potatoes using this same combination of spices, both with and without the turmeric. The dish is delicious both ways.
