Moroccan Spiced Vegetable Tagine
This tagine is a vibrant, aromatic dish that feels like a warm hug on a chilly evening. I love how the spices come together to create a comforting, layered flavor profile that warms both the body and spirit.
I first fell in love with Moroccan cuisine during a trip to a little café while exploring the streets of Marrakech.
The aromas of spices and vegetables simmering in a tagine were intoxicating.
This recipe is my tribute to that experience and a reminder that cooking can be a beautiful act of love.
Plus, it's packed with nourishing veggies that celebrate the bounty of the earth!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large pot or tagine, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it's translucent.
- 2
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, just until fragrant.
- 3
Add the sliced carrots and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies begin to soften.
- 4
Next, add the zucchini, chickpeas, diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, and raisins.
- 5
Now it’s time to sprinkle in the spices: cumin, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a good stir to combine.
- 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally, and if it looks too dry, add a splash of water or more broth.
- 7
Once the veggies are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully, remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 8
Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro. I love serving this with fluffy couscous or warm crusty bread.
