roasted

In this collection, you will find all of my best vegan recipes that feature super cozy roasted components, including my butternut orzo with crispy Brussels sprouts, a kale slaw with crunchy BBQ cauliflower, and crispy coconut tofu lettuce wraps.

There’s also lots of simple vegetable inspiration here, like my roasted roots with jalapeno yogurt sauce and these sundried tomato pesto potatoes.

If you are looking for even more roasted vegan recipes, The First Mess Cookbook has plenty of inspiration.
