Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup milk

How to Make Creamy Herb Dumplings with Roasted Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced carrots, zucchini, and broccoli. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dumpling batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and mixed herbs to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Once the vegetables are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the baking sheet, spaced evenly over the veggies.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are fluffy and golden on top.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or onion powder to the dumpling batter.
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest dumplings.
- Adjust the seasoning of the vegetables according to your taste; a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving can elevate the dish.
Easy Variations
- Swap in your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, asparagus, or sweet potatoes.
- For a cheesy twist, mix in shredded cheese into the dumpling batter.
- Add cooked chicken or sausage for a heartier side dish.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
- A fresh green salad to balance the flavors.
- A hearty soup for a comforting dinner.
