Basically title. I'm easing into my 1 year anniverary and wanting to come up with something that I can make and take to the in-laws since I don't want to put them out too much for my sake. They all eat omni and I don't expect them to cater to me. Last year I did tofurkey sausages and they were ok and they might be a fallback if I don't come up with something else. I was gonna get a Field Roast roast but it's $19 at Nat Grocers and yeah, I'm not spending that kind of money on something that only I am gonna eat.
I'd like it to be close to traditional but am open for alternative suggestions since, well, I love food. Right now I am thinking about doing vegan mashed potatoes since that is easy mode and I can scale it down to 1 or 2 helpings.
But other than that idk. Welcome to all ideas, so what you got?
Disclaimer: literally zero allergies or food aversions so I am open to anything. TIA.
Will check back after church crap...
I usually make roasted potatoes, carrots, and brussel sprouts for my vegan friends for thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't have a recipe but it's basically:
Chop veggies into bite sized pieces
Toss with olive oil and garlic salt
Roast in oven at a high temperature for like 10-15 until they're done.
It takes some practice getting the timing right because the veggies all take different amount of time, but I like having the variety of three different roasted vegetables.
I love me some roasted veggies. I am leaning towards this if I go the mushroom wellington route actually. I think it would be a good side and if I do roasted pots, I can dodge having to make mashed, so that makes things a bit easier. I think I am leaning towards the wellington if I can find vegan puff pasty.
