Roast ‘Em if Ya Got 'Em (Sauce 'Em, Too)

Roasting a bunch of vegetables makes a dinner party easy, but the real hosting superpower is serving them alongside a trio of sauces. Stir a few pantry items together for one, open a bottle for another, and throw some herbs and other stuff in the food processor for the third.

What you'll have to do

Step 1

Stir 1/4 cup cold water into 1/2 cup tahini until it thickens, a seemingly magic transformation that deomstrates the food chemistry involving the hydrophilic properties of certain carbohydrate molecules (the water-loving carbs latch onto the water; add more water and the tahini gets runny again).

Step 2

Mix in 2 tablespoons garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons vinegar.
