Recipe of the Week: Herb-Roasted Vegetables

It’s November—and you know what that means! Soon your fam will be deciding what to make for the good ol’ Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately for most of us, that means dealing with the fact that a lot of people still think it’s OK to torture birds for the dinner plate.

Thanksgiving is super-easy to veganize, and to make it even easier on ya, our Recipe of the Week blogs this month will focus on dishes that you can take to Thanksgiving dinner to make it vegan-friendly—hooray! First up: herb-roasted veggies!

Herb-Roasted Veggies

5 large red potatoes, cut into chunks

1 small bag baby carrots

1 medium onion, sliced

Several rosemary sprigs

Salt, pepper, thyme, and sage, to taste

1 cup olive oil

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

  • Place the potatoes, carrots, and onion on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Add the rosemary, salt, pepper, thyme, and sage. Fold the sides of the aluminum foil around the veggies.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1 tablespoonful of soy sauce over the veggies and mix until coated.
  • Wrap the foil completely around the veggies. Set in the oven and bake at 350ºF for about 30 minutes.
  • Open the foil packet and add the remaining oil and soy sauce. (Make sure your veggies are staying moist! Nobody likes dry veggies. :) )
  • If the potatoes and carrots are soft, the dish is done! If they need a little more cooking time, pop them back in the oven and add more spices, to taste.

Makes 2 to 3 servings

Be sure to adjust your ingredients to account for the number of people at your Thanksgiving dinner. This dish can be customized. Add your fave veggies—such as squash, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts—and spices to make it your own! It goes perfectly alongside a vegan turkey such as this one, this one, or this one.

Have you started talking to your family about having vegan food at your Thanksgiving dinner? Our Thanksgiving survival guide is a good place to start!

      So glad I tried out this recipe on Thanksgiving a while back! I’ve probably made it at least ten times since and now it will be on the table for every Thanksgiving holiday! :)

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
