Roasted Veggie Dinner with Almond Satay

This roasted veggie dinner is our quick and easy, go-to weeknight meal. A colorful mix of fresh vegetables is roasted until crispy, then served with an irresistible almond butter satay sauce. It’s perfect as a light main or side, and it’s ready in 40 minutes!

We have to admit, we can barely call this a recipe because it’s our go-to dinner that we can make with our eyes closed. It’s super easy and perfect for nights when you want something light yet filling without any fuss.

To make it, simply chop up whatever veggies you can find in the fridge, roast them until crispy, and make a simple (but very delicious) satay sauce. Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and transforms them in the most delicious way.

Depending on how hungry we are, sometimes we’ll eat this on its own, or serve it over cooked quinoa or brown rice. If we have a ripe avocado lying around, sometimes we’ll chop it up and add it, too.

It’s a great dinner for meal prepping, and we’ll often roast extra veggies because we like the leftovers. They’re perfect for adding to bowls and salads, or for tucking into burritos or sandwiches throughout the week.

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 medium beets (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
• ▢ 2 teaspoons olive oil
• ▢ 2 small sweet potatoes (sliced thick (½-inch rounds))
• ▢ 8 medium crimini or white mushrooms
• ▢ 1 Asian eggplants (chopped into large chunks)
• ▢ 1 head broccoli (sliced into long strips (the sweet stem is the best part!))
• ▢ 1 medium red pepper (chopped into bite-sized chunks)
• ▢ 1 medium carrot (cut into rounds)
• ▢ ½ medium red onion (cut into thick chunks)

Almond Butter Satay Sauce

• ▢ 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• ▢ 1 small onion (finely minced)
• ▢ 1 inch piece of ginger (finely minced)
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• ▢ ½ cup canned coconut milk
• ▢ ½ cup water or broth
• ▢ 4 tablespoons smooth almond butter
• ▢ 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• ▢ 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
• ▢ Sea salt (to taste)
• ▢ Optional: sriracha (to taste)

Instructions 

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the beets and sweet potatoes with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, put them on the baking sheet, and pop them into your oven. See notes. Once the beets and sweet potatoes are in the oven, move on to cutting up the rest of the veggies.

• Mix the mushrooms, eggplant, broccoli, red pepper, carrot, and onion with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the veggies in a single layer on another large, parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Once the sweet potatoes and beets have been in the oven for 20 minutes, put this tray of veggies into the oven. Let both veggie trays roast for another 20-25 minutes.

• While the veggies are roasting, prepare the almond butter satay sauce. Melt the coconut oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

• Add the coconut milk, water or broth, and almond butter to the pot. Bring the pot to a simmer so the sauce thickens and everything is mixed well. Remove the pot from the heat, then stir in the lime juice and soy sauce. Taste and add salt if necessary. (If you use unsalted almond butter, you will need to add extra salt.) Stir through the optional sriracha if you like the spice.

• Either serve the sauce on the side to dip or drizzle it over your veggies.
  

Notes

This recipe might make more sauce than you need, depending on your sauce preference. We like a lot of satay sauce (it’s just so good!), so this is the perfect amount for us. If you have leftovers, you can always use it for a veggie dip, in sandwiches, or to recreate into an almond butter noodle dish.

If you don’t want the beets to color the sweet potatoes, you can toss them in oil separately.
