Seasoned with lemony sumac for a Mediterranean flair, colorful Roasted Fall Vegetables feature Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and red onion. It's the perfect vegan side dish for both weeknight dinners and holiday meals like Thanksgiving.
Roasting is one of my favorite ways to cook vegetables. It's such a simple technique that yields delicious results without a lot of fuss or hands-on attention.
While different veggies technically have different cooking times, you can combine several together with excellent results. Some of my favorites recipes using this method include Roasted Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts, White Wine Roasted Vegetables, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots.
And no matter how straightforward these roasted fall vegetables are, they're always a hit at family dinners. The combination of colors, textures, and flavors make this the perfect dish for the season.

Ingredients

- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Olive oil
- Ground sumac

Sumac is one of my favorite spices. It's made from crushed sumac berries and has a bright citrusy flavor.
You may have seen it in shaker jars on tables in Persian restaurants. You can sprinkle it on homemade hummus made without store-bought tahini and white bean dip and add it to Middle Eastern Balela bean salad.

Tips for cutting vegetables
- Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts cook at about the same rate when cut the same size.
- Carrots take a little longer, so cut them in quarter-inch coins.
- Onions take even longer to roast than carrots, so cut them in thin slices.
Instructions
- Place the cut up vegetables in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, sumac, and salt and pepper.
- Spread them out on a sheet pan.
- Roast in the oven until tender and lightly browned, stirring half way through.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
Roasting tips
- If you are cooking something else in the oven, you can roast the vegetables at the same time, as long as the oven temperature is between 400° and 450°F. The higher the temperature, the quicker they will take to cook, so keep your eye on them so they don't burn.
- Spread the vegetables out in a single layer and do not overcrowd the pan to ensure they roast instead of steam.
Serving suggestions
Roasted fall vegetables go well with just about everything. I particularly like them with vegan Mediterranean diet recipes like vegan stuffed squash and Mediterranean mashed potatoes.
They also pair nicely with pasta dishes like spaghetti with pumpkin tomato pasta sauce or walnut bolognese.
And you can serve them with pumpkin hummus dip and Mediterranean white bean dip in place of raw veggies.
Storing
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave. They are also delicious served cold in a salad. For best results, do not freeze.
Recipe FAQs
If you aren't able to purchase sumac for this recipe, you can substitute a little fresh lemon zest or lemon pepper.
Don't worry. Poison sumac is related to poison ivy and poison oak, but not the herb we're using in this recipe.
Choose ones that are firm and compact with a bright green color. Smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter and less bitter. Store them in the refrigerator and use them within a week of purchasing.
