Steaming & then roasting works fine to avoid oil, but the “sauce” part of this recipe got very sticky & chewy in the oven, and I did follow the recipe. Did anyone else experience this? Or is there a suggestion to avoid it?

I’m used to eating roasted vegetables, like the ones in this recipe, with meat. What would be a good vegan protein main dish to pair with this with?
How about a roasted portobello
Mushroom “filet”
What the heck do they mean by (through beet) (through garlic) 🙂
They’re referring to the number of ingredients you add. For example, you’re adding the first six ingredients in the list–all the way down to beets (the sixth ingredient).
While I am a Keto person, I’m always on the lookout for good veggie recipes that are low carb. Short of looking up every ingredient, do any recipes on this site ever include carb counts etc? Because this one looks REALLY good!

Save the steaming water for stock!
Too many steps. Why steam the vegetables first?
What sauce is pictured with this dish?
Sorry—response meant for previous poster.
Says why steaming is necessary in the recipe intro. “The key to evenly roasting firmer veggies, such as carrots and potatoes, without adding fat is to steam them first before mixing them with the soft vegetables.”
Hi Karen, that’s a vegan creamy dill sauce. I’m not sure of the exact recipe for that one, but I think these two recipes would be good options.
