    Sweet and Sour Roasted Vegetables with Beets, Carrots, and Parsnips

    By Alisa Fleming on April 18, 2022 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Recipes, Sides

    One of my favorite foods is definitely roasted vegetables. Typically, I just season them with salt and pepper, and maybe some herbs, but sometimes I dress them up a bit more. This recipe for sweet and sour roasted vegetables was one that I started making many years ago when I was craving something different. It’s boldly flavored, and adds something delicious to ordinary protein-vegetable-starch meals. These veggies are also a great addition to rice bowls for lunch, or you can serve them atop salad.

    I originally shared this recipe way back in 2008, but have given the recipe an update. Also, here are some quick tips and FAQs to help cover the bases.

    • Can I Use Other Vegetables? Yes! This flavor blend is great with winter squash, sweet potato, potato, bell peppers, eggplant, and other root vegetables. There really is no rule. I just lean toward these springtime vegetables because the are a bit firmer and their natural sweetness goes well with the roasting sauce. Also, if using other vegetables, keep the cooking time in mind. For softer produce, like winter squash and sweet potatoes, and wetter produce, like eggplant, you can typically skip the steaming.
    • Is the Steaming Really Necessary? The vegetables used are a bit firmer, so the steaming helps to tenderize them from the get go, and helps to keep the sauces and herbs from burning. In a pinch, you might be able to skip it.
    • I Need Low Sodium. Is the Salt Necessary? We prefer it with the salt, but I have made these sweet and sour roasted vegetables without the salt and pepper, and they were still delicious!
    • Can I Substitute Another Vinegar? Apple cider vinegar does provide the right sweet and sour vibe for this recipe. I don’t recommend using white vinegar, if you can help it.
    • Can I Substitute Another Sweetener? You can! We prefer maple, but agave nectar or honey (not strictly vegan) also work well. To be safe, I’d stick with a liquid sweetener.

    This is a versatile recipe that works with most root vegetables. I have enjoyed it with rutabaga, golden beets, and potatoes in addition to the vegetables below.
