Roasted oil free vegetables are a great addition to your holiday table.
Here we have roasted beets, brussel sprouts and carrots when all together create a delicious beautiful dish for your holiday table. These roasted veggies are not just for the holidays, I make these roasted oil free vegetables all year long. I try to limit my use of oil and so I wanted to create a dish that is oil free, simple to make, and tastes delicious.

Vegetables to roast
Slice the veggies and baked in the oven with a pinch of just salt and pepper. One of the benefits of cooking without oil is you really get to taste the delicious flavor of the vegetables.
“The carrots taste like sweet potato fries”... This was a quote from my teenage daughter, Zoey.

Tip on cutting carrots:
The carrots are peeled and sliced on angle. The carrots are sliced about an inch and half long. It makes it nice for dipping or adding to a salad or bowl.

You can top the roasted vegetables with a lemon tahini dressing. This dressing can be used with vegetables and makes for a great dip! In addition, you can also toss all the roasted vegetables in a bowl and mix in some dressing as an alternative.
