Roasted Veggies with Hard-boiled Eggs and Spices

Roasted Veggies with spices and hard-boiled Eggs is a delicious and colorful dish chock full of  veggies, and packed with flavor. You can serve it with tortillas or with plain rice. It’s the perfect dish to take to a party or to serve at home when you have a large gathering. I made a giant pot of this curry for a Father’s Day Guys Brunch which was really enjoyed by the guys.
