Ingredients

2 small zucchini, cut into ½‑inch rounds or half‑moons
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1‑inch strips
1 cup baby carrots, halved lengthwise if large
½ small head red cabbage, cored and cut into 1–1.5‑inch wedges
2 tbsp roasted sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp aji mirin
1 tsp powdered ginger mixed into 1 tbsp warm water (or ¼–1/3 tsp dry if preferred)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (plus extra for garnish)
1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.
2
Prepare the vegetables: cut zucchini, bell pepper, and carrots; cut cabbage into wedges. Place all veg in a large bowl.
3
Make the dressing: whisk together roasted sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, the powdered‑ginger slurry, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
4
Toss the veg in the bowl with the dressing until evenly coated. Sprinkle in 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and toss lightly.
5
Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet (don’t overcrowd; use a second sheet if needed). Roast 20–30 minutes, turning once halfway through with a spatula or tongs so they brown evenly. Roast until edges caramelize and carrots are tender.
6
Finish: remove from oven, immediately squeeze 1 tbsp lemon juice over the hot vegetables, adjust seasoning, and sprinkle extra toasted sesame seeds.
7
Serve warm as a side or over rice. Leftovers keep 2–3 days refrigerated; reheat gently.
