Vegan Roasted Veggies with Tahini Sauce

Hi beautiful people! I am so excited to show you this new recipe for vegan roasted veggies with tahini sauce.

It’s festive, perfect for the holiday season and 100% delicious.

The creaminess of the tahini sauce paired with the tender roasted vegetables and bright, tartness of the pomegranate seeds is truly an unmatched combination.

First, you will roast the veggies in the oven for about 45 minutes in either olive oil or veggie broth. If you eat plant-based and prefer to eat oil-free, then go ahead and use the veggie broth method.

Prefer to roast the vegan roasted veggies with tahini sauce with olive oil or avocado oil? That’s perfectly fine too!

Questions:

  1. Can I use other veggies instead of carrots and green beans? Yes, of course! Asparagus would work beautifully too.
  2. What is tahini? Tahini is ground sesame seeds. It’s basically seed butter. It’s super rich and delicious.
  3. Where can I find tahini? You can find it at almost any grocery store.
  4. Can I buy pomegranate seeds that are pre-packaged? Totally. I got the ones from Trader Joe’s. It’s a couple extra dollars but it’s a huge timer saver in the kitchen.
  5. Can I store this in the fridge? YES! 100%.

When you take the veggies out of the oven, you will then assemble and drizzle on the tahini sauce.

How to plate this dish: 

  • Add the green beans to the bottom of a serving platter, then arrange the carrots nicely on top.
  • I like to use the rainbow carrots so you can see all the pretty colors when they’re lined up.
  • Next, drizzle on the tahini sauce – use as much or as little as you’d like!
  • Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on
  • Season with more salt and pepper if you’d like.

    Delish! That dressing is awesome! I used raw zucchini noodles instead of pasta. Made the rest of the recipe as directed. I’m eating it now. So so good 😊5 stars
