Hey, I hope you are as excited as I am about these delicious vegetarian fajitas with oven-roasted vegetables! As you know, I love Mexican food (well, rather Tex-Mex). Most of my Mexican inspired recipes are not “traditional” Mexican recipes though. Why? Because I always add my own twist which sometimes is not Mexican AT ALL, haha. However, I want to share vegan recipes with you, which I enjoy most, and to me, it’s not important if they are “real”, “traditional” or whatever. They are yummy and that’s all that matters, right? When my boyfriend came home with these beautiful peppers, I knew what I am going to make! Yummy veggie fajitas!
What are Fajitas?
I think it’s best if I quote Wikipedia here: Of course, I didn’t use grilled meat since I am an ethical vegan. Some years ago I rescued two dairy-cows which now live on a farm of my friend and last year I rescued my pet chicken “Erna”. I prefer vegan fajitas with oven-roasted vegetables!
Why Oven Roasted Vegetable Fajitas?
Roasting the vegetables brings out so much flavor. I just LOVE caramelized veggies. It’s easier to roast the veggies in the oven because they don’t require babysitting! Crispy edges! Do I have to say more?!
How To Make Vegetable Fajitas?
You are only a few steps away from enjoying flavorful sheet pan fajitas. These bad boys are seriously so easy to make. All you need is: All ingredients, measurements, and nutrition facts (calories, etc.) can be found in the printable recipe card below.
Instructions:
STEP 1: Start by chopping the veggies and spread them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with some oil, toss with fajita seasoning and roast in the oven until nicely caramelized and tender. STEP 2: It’s up to you if you prefer heating up the beans but I love to fry them for a few minutes in a skillet with a little balsamic vinegar, salt, and onion powder. STEP 3: Make your own guacamole or use store-bought. I have a recipe for Oven Baked Potato Wedges with homemade Guacamole. Check it out if you want. STEP 4: Finally, assemble your vegetable fajitas. Check the easy step-by-step photos below.
Healthy Veggies
These vegetarian fajitas contain onion, peppers, and cauliflower. Why cauliflower? Isn’t very Mexican right?! Nope, it’s not but I love roasted cauliflower. The flavor and texture are amazing. However, you can vary this fajita recipe as per your liking and add different vegetables. Maybe you will like the following ones:
