Best Winter Root Veggie Stir Fry Vegan Friendly Recipes

WINTER ROOT VEGGIE STIR FRY (VEGAN FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Rinse and rub the root vegetables clean in cool running water.
• Prepare vegetables and combine all except the grated *red* beets.
• Heat a skillet to medium temperature (about 350 degrees) with oil. Stir-fry the veggies (except *red*beets) until tender. I stir fried everything about 8-10 minutes until the root veggies were browned and the onions crispy and starting to caramelize. Add the garlic powder the last minute of stir frying.
• Serve hot with cheese, raw grated beets and parsley on top. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
• Serving suggestion from Cookgirl's kitchen: We served the veggies over long grain brown rice. If desired, accompany the stir fry with a small mixed greens' salad.

ROASTED WINTER ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the rutabaga in a pan and cover with water. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain well, and cool completely. Repeat steps to cook the parsnips and carrots.
• Place completely cooled vegetables in resealable freezer bags. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 days, or freeze up to 1 month. To thaw the vegetables, refrigerate overnight and drain.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the vegetable oil into a rimmed baking dish. Place the vegetables into a large mixing bowl and toss with the basil, salt, and pepper. Place the pan in preheated oven to heat for 5 minutes. Add the vegetables and toss to coat with the oil.
• Roast vegetables in preheated oven, turning every 10 minutes, until tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

QUINOA WITH STIR-FRIED WINTER VEG

Steps:

• Cook the quinoa according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat 3 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large pan, then add the garlic and quickly fry for 1 min. Throw in the carrots, leeks and broccoli, then stir-fry for 2 mins until everything is glistening.
• Add the sundried tomatoes, mix together the stock and tomato purée, then add to the pan. Cover, then cook for 3 mins. Drain the quinoa, then toss in the remaining oil and the lemon juice. Divide between warm plates and spoon the vegetables on top.

VEGAN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat oil a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add veggies in the following order with approximately 2 minutes of sauteing between each addition: carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and mushrooms last. Pour in soy sauce and mix until all vegetables are well coated with sauce. Cook for 2 minutes.
• Pour in water and add tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and bring to a simmer. Cook until all vegetables are fork-tender, but not too soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add basil towards the end.
