Roasted Caesar-Style Romaine
In this unusual take on a Caesar salad, the lettuce is quickly roasted. To make this vegan, use vegan Worcestershire sauce and cheese, and skip the anchovies.
Either delicata or kabocha squash works fine for this dish. I prefer to peel the skins, but both have soft, edible skins, so you can skip this step if you want. Cut all ingredients except onion in uniform sizes.
Ingredients
- 1 small spring onion, diced (reserve green part for another use) or ½ medium white onion
- 12 ounces Brussels sprouts, washed and quartered
- 12 ounces small carrots, halved crosswise (about 3 cups whole)
- 1 lb. organic multicolored baby potatoes (or other small potatoes), washed and quartered
- 2 cups delicata or kabocha squash, cut in 1-inch cubes
- 1 12-oz package fully cooked organic sweet Italian-style chicken sausage, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more if needed
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon finely ground pepper
About this recipe
Serves 6-8
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all vegetables and sausage pieces in a large mixing bowl (include any Brussels sprout leaves that come lose while quartering). Drizzle oil over all and sprinkle spices on top. Using your hands, thoroughly toss mixture to combine. Make sure everything is evenly and well coated. If mixture seems a little dry, add a little more oil and mix again. Transfer to a large, rimmed baking sheet. Spread out in a single layer. Roast 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring mixture halfway through to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.

Spicy Roasted Baby Bok Choy (Li Ren Choi)
Roasting bok choy gives the white part a creamy texture, while the leaves become crispy. You can substitute 1 large head of regular bok choy. Reserve leftover marinade for another use.
Roasted Chicken with Tomato, Olives and Lemon
Meyer lemon adds a little sweetness and deep yellow color, and I especially like it in this dish because the whole fruit is edible, rind and all.
Carambola Blueberry Crisp
This is a slightly different take on the traditional “crisp” recipe. Cooking it on a shallow baking sheet rather than a deeper baking dish gives it an even crispier texture. Use coconut oil instead of...
