This meatless traybake starts by roasting sturdy root vegetables and licorice-y fennel. Once the vegetables are tender, we toss in cannellini beans (canned, for convenience) that marinated in a vinaigrette spiked with orange zest and thyme, then give the mix a few more minutes in the oven to warm through. Orange halves roasted with the vegetables turn succulent and their acidity mellows with cooking; we squeeze the juice and add it to the dressing that’s tossed with the still-warm vegetable-bean mixture. A sprinkle of chopped nuts completes the dish, adding toastiness and crunch. Rainbow carrots make the traybake especially colorful, or if you’re a fan of parsnips, use them in place of or in combination with the carrots. This is hearty enough to be a vegetarian main, but also makes a terrific holiday side.

Tip

Don’t use red beets in this traybake; they will stain the other vegetables.

Delicious and sustaining
Wow, this recipe yields wonderful results. I loved, loved loved the baked orange juice in the dressing. Makes the dish. A gorgeous way to put seasonal summer produce to its best use. I'll be making this again and again. I love the visual look of this dish with its bright colours with the beautiful golden beets and orange carrots. The crunchy nuts added yields appealing textural contrast. Another winner from Milk Street. I would happily serve this at a dinner party, with some crusty bread alongside. You could also experiment with adding different or additional vegetables (I threw some radishes along with their greens)

Roasted goodness
The dressing was delicious on the vegetables. I needed 2 trays to fit everything but otherwise it was a hit.

So good
Made it for an Easter buffet and it was a big hit. Will make it again and again. Very good look with the yellow beets. Loved the crunch of hazelnuts.

Fabulous
The complex textures and flavors of this roasted vegetable dish are wonderful. Will try the roasted orange vinaigrette on other dishes.
