The vegetarian tagine is a delicious and colorful dish that celebrates the richness of Moroccan vegetables and spices. In a traditional clay pot, fresh vegetables are carefully arranged in harmonious layers: carrots, zucchini, potatoes, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and sometimes even squash for a hint of sweetness. Chickpeas or olives are also added to enrich the dish with additional textures and flavors.

The whole dish is delicately seasoned with typical Moroccan spices: cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, paprika, and a pinch of saffron to enhance the aromas. Olive oil and a few sprigs of fresh parsley or cilantro are added on top, giving a touch of freshness. The tagine cooks slowly, over low heat, allowing the vegetables to release their juices and the spices to blend, creating a rich and well-seasoned sauce.

Served directly in the traditional dish, the vegetarian tagine is both light and satisfying, perfect for those who want to experience Moroccan cuisine without meat.
