Roasted Vegetables with Garlic and Cilantro Yogurt Dip

Vegetables are always a healthy meal option. Here I roasted some vegetables with some herbs/spices. This is good as a healthy appetizer and can be prepared in few minutes. It looks appealing when add different colorful vegetables.

I prepared a yogurt dip with garlic and cilantro. The taste was a little bit spicy and flavorful due to addition of garlic and cilantro. It was well matching to serve with roasted vegetables.
