Recipe Tips

  • You can double this recipe to make more servings. But, you will need to cook the vegetables on two baking sheets.
  • This recipe is very versatile. Don’t like walnuts? Leave them off or use your favorite nut or seed instead. Pecans, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, chopped almonds, and sunflower seeds would also be delicious.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes it is written gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan so everyone can enjoy. Try serving this at your holiday table as a main dish for your meat-free friends and family.
