Mediterranean Potato Tzatziki Bowl | plantbaes (1)

Indulge in the flavors of the Mediterranean with this Potato Tzatziki Bowl! This dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a healthy mid-week meal. The combination of roasted potatoes, fresh vegetables, and creamy tzatziki sauce will transport you straight to a Mediterranean seaside restaurant.

Potatoes have received such a bad reputation as an unhealthy food while they are actually a fantastic option to add to our meals. I think that’s mostly due to how they are prepared, as they often come deep-fried or drenched in butter.

Potatoes are very satiating, taste delicious, and bring fiber, vitamin C, iron, potassium, and B6, and a bonus point if you keep the skin on!

If you’re looking to up your iron intake, this one is great to add to the meal plan, with 10mg per serving.

Fresh herbs are amazing but not always available. If you cannot get fresh dill, you can add a couple of tsp of dry one or swap for some mint or flat parsley. All of these options will taste great!

Why This Recipe Works

Simple Ingredients: Most of the ingredients are pantry staples.
Nutrient-Rich: Packed with vitamins and minerals.
Absolutely Delicious: Extremely fresh and satisfying.

Ingredient Notes

Potatoes: Use russet for a fluffier texture. Sweet potatoes can be a good substitute.
Vegetables: Feel free to add or remove veggies according to your preference.

FAQ

Can I make this dish ahead of time? Yes, just prepare the components and assemble them when ready. Just keep the sauce and veggies separated until you serve. It’s also great cold!
Is this recipe gluten-free? Yes, it is gluten-free!

Variations and Tips

Spice it Up: Add a dash of hot sauce, or chili powder for an extra kick.
Swap the protein: You could use white beans instead of chickpeas or even lentils (only bake for half the time in the oven if using lentils).
Tzatziki swaps: If you can’t find any dill, you could replace it with mint or parsley. We use soy yogurt for the extra protein; however, any thick dairy-free yogurt can be used.
If you love this one, make sure you check out our High-Protein Beetroot Medi Bowl for a delicious beetroot sauce twist!

I made this today into a WFPB version by leaving out the oil and just mix the things with the spices on baking tray . Left out the nuts too. It’s very light, despite the amount of potatoes . Worth repeating

  1. I’ve made this twice now. The first time I made it exactly as recipe required because that’s what I do. It was excellent. But then today I was craving it again, and I made a few substitutions based on what I had in the fridge. I had some store-bought to tzaziki so I used that. I didn’t feel like measuring spices so I use some Zhug that I had. And I was out of maple syrup, so I used Cajun cane syrup. Otherwise, just the same. Still so damn good. Thank you for this recipe!

    1. That’s awesome! Love a good short cut 😍

Made this last night for my not-vegetarian sister and brother-in-law, and we all loved it. I can’t wait to make it again- the combo of flavors was really satistfying. I didn’t have harissa (since having covid, I can’t tolerate much heat) so used a little chili garlic paste instead, and I added a red bell pepper because I had one on hand, and the color was a nice addition. I also used parsley instead of dill (again, just what I had on hand). I agree that the prep took longer than the recipe said–I’d say 20-ish minutes for everything. But thank you–this is going in my regular rotation, too, as others have said, and I’m off to look through your other recipes.

1. Hey Jp, I’m so happy to hear you and your guests loved it! Thank you for the feedback, it’s always welcomed, as you’re the second person to mention it, I’ve adjusted it, I think in this case I did underestimate how long it would take to recreate it at home 🙂

Super easy, delicious, and satisfying! There was definitely more than 10 minutes of prep time, and I’m an experienced, efficient cook, but it was time well-spent. My daughter took a few bites and asked me to .are it again soon.
