3 Versatile Sauces for Any Roasted Veggie

If your roasted veggies are feeling a little humdrum, we have a feeling you’ll really like what we have here: recipes for a bright citrus tahini topping, an herbaceous green goddess dressing, and a savory peanut sauce. We’ve had a lot of great broccolini, so that’s what we used, but these versatile sauces work wonders over everything.

To start, cut Broccoli florets with stems into similar size. (Do not waste or discard the stems). Steam broccoli in a double boiler steamer for about 5-7 minutes or until just tender. Toss into a pan, with oil, on medium heat, with half a teaspoon of vinegar. Serve accompanied by choice of sauce.

Citrus Tahini Sauce

  • Author: Misfits Market
  • Yield: 1/3 cup 1x

Description

This is a very bright, tangy dressing with strong flavors of lemon and orange, so it pairs well with mild veggies. It could also work on roasted acorn squash or grilled zucchini.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons tahini, stirred to mix
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Zest of 1/2 a lemon
  • Juice of 1/2 an orange (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • Big pinch of salt (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Water (optional)

 


Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients, except water, into a small food processor. Mix until well combined and sauce-like.
  2. Depending on what brand of tahini you use, you may need to add water, one teaspoon at a time to loosen the sauce to a thinner consistency of your liking.

Creamy Green Sauce

  • Author: Misfits Market
  • Yield: 1 cup 1x

Description

The one cup of greens can be a mix of whatever you have in the fridge! Here, we mixed basil with parsley, but you could also add fresh dill, tarragon, or chives.


Ingredients

Scale

Instructions

Put all ingredients into a small food processor and mix until well combined. Your sauce will be thicker if you use Greek yogurt, so for a thinner sauce you can use regular non-fat yogurt or sour cream.


Notes

Have leftover sauce? You can pour onto freshly boiled, skin-on potatoes to make a quick potato salad or, even better, you can combine the sauce with mashed potatoes to make a Green Goddess Mashed Potatoes side dish. Yum!
