What says “fall” more than a pot roast? Am I right? I haven’t had one in forever… let alone since becoming vegan so I thought I would try to make a veggie based one in my beautiful turquoise Le Creuset beauty! I’ve always loved the veggies in a roast, so I thought it could work. Whenever my mom made a pork pot roast growing up it wasn’t my favorite (I never really liked pork) so I would eat mostly veggies out of it anyway. I added all of the veggies in my big pot and made a flavorful broth to pour over the top. It took about 10 minutes to chop up the veggies (which are in big chunks so not much preciseness here) and stir up the broth and put it in the oven with the lid on. The tender veggies soaked up the flavors and were everything I remembered and more! It was filling with the potatoes and was great for a cozy night meal on a Sunday night. Healthy, tasty, and simple! 3 of my favorite things!
