One goal we have this year is to have people reimagine what meals look like. This Easy Smoky Sheet Pan Oven Roasted Veggies is just one way to start!
We don’t usually share too many stories in our blog posts here, but quickly wanted to share that over the years of being vegan, our thoughts behind meals have changed more and more.
Often times when you are first starting off vegan you are still in an omnivore mindset (meat, veg, grain) at most meals. However, as you begin to expand your mind, there is a shift that happens.
We can absolutely have a veggie focused meal and get all the nutrients and flavors we crave.
We hope you begin to explore this more yourself and love this dish!

🥘Recipe Ingredients
Gather your ingredients!
- Sweet Potato – are great for your health, having a lot of vitamins and nutrients in just one bite! They add volume, flavor, and deliciousness to this dish
- Red Onion– great for flavor but color as well
- Garlic – adds an aromatic component to the dish and helps with the flavor
- Baby Bok Choy – Adds greens plus a crunch to balance out all the flavors of the dish
- Chickpeas – are not only a great protein, but hold up well when roasted in the oven with vegetables due to their tough outer skin
- Oil – We are using oil to help with the roasting of the vegetables in the oven
- Spices – there’s a variety of spices that work to really pull this dish together and make the flavors pop. You’ll need garlic powder, smoked paprika, cinnamon, dried basil and thyme, cumin, clove, and fennel seeds, as well as salt and pepper
See my recipe card below for a complete list of the ingredients with measurements.
Substitutions and Variations:
- Sweet Potato – to keep anti-inflammatory we’d suggest yellow or purple potatoes over white, but all with roast well
- Red Onion– any yellow or white onion can also be used in this dish
- Baby Bok Choy – Regular bok choy will also work, but cut in half length wise for faster cooking. Also, halved Brussels sprouts would work as a sub. You could also do a combo of celery for crunch and spinach or kale for the leafy green
- Chickpeas – shelled edamame would be a great sub for the chickpeas because they will hold up the same length of time roasting. Otherwise, other beans could work as a sub, but would recommend adding them
- Oil – If you are oil free you can omit the oil, but your veggies won’t crisp up as much. We’d also recommend using something like a silipat mat.
- Spices -feel free to switch up the flavors by using different seasoning blends
Note: Other vegetables can be added and roasted, just make sure to cut them into sizes that will allow for roasting within the time frame of the steps.
Step by Step Instructions for Smoky Sheet Pan Vegetables:
To start you’re going to preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Whisk all your spices together and set aside.
Add your chickpeas and cubed sweet potatoes into a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss to coast each piece. Sprinkle over half the seasonings, then stir to combine. Add to your baking sheet and roast for 18-20 minutes.
While sweet potatoes and chickpeas are in the oven, add bok choy and onions to the same bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss, then remaining seasonings and stir again to combine well.
After your time is up for sweet potatoes, remove the pan, add the onions and bok choy and return to the oven for another 7-10 minutes.
You are looking for the potatoes to be fork tender and your bok choy should be slightly wilted by this time.
Remove and serve!

This was really delicious and so easy to make. I loved watching the video! My husband who is a meat eater and has said he hates chickpeas – even loved this and said it was great. Thank you!
This is awesome! So glad that both you and your husband enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for giving it a try!
I am a newcomer to your page. I love the all the spices as well as how you incorporated everything else. I love bok Choy , it’s great . I am trying these meals so that I can see my grandkids even thou I’m only 52😂. It’s basically for health reason I was just recently
Pre-diabetes but now that I changed it my doc said keep doing what I’m doing . Thank you for all you do . You and your wifey.
So happy to hear that you are taking care of yourself Anita!
Looks really good.😊 Your instructions about bean substitutions (above) seems to be incomplete. As a senior with sensitive teeth, I prefer softer protein over crunchy chickpeas. Your recipes are over the top. ♥️ Thank you!
Thanks for your feedback. It’s impossible to list every substitution available and often times we just try to give something that would give the same mouthfeel when possible. Feel free to do tofu, white beans, or mushrooms 🙂
I make the full recipe for myself and the recipe is very good. I loved the spice & herb profile. I served it over quinoa and made a tahini dressing to drizzle over it. It was nice to have the delicious leftovers for the remainder of the week when I was in a pinch. It was very satisfying. The garlic tho, dog, I might omit 1 garlic clove next time!😂 overall it was terrific.
lol about the garlic! Glad you loved it
This recipe is now a regular in our house. The spice profile is just perfect with the ingredients. If I don’t have bok choy, I’ll use chopped kale or whatever hearty green I have on hand. I’m kind of laughing at the garlic comment…I add two more cloves! lol. Never, ever too much garlic in my opinion. We’re new to vegan eating and your recipes are easy to understand and easily adaptable to avoid things we are allergic to. And the taste! Who needs meat???
So happy that you are loving the recipes! Great idea with the greens you have on hand. ALLLLL the garlic for the win!
This is soooo easy and delicious. i serve it woth quinoa and à little mustard lemon sauce drizzle on top.
i did make 3 servigs, maybe I eat to much 😅
love that drizzle idea! haha, just enjoy it!
