IntroductionGet ready to fire up your oven and your tastebuds! In this tasty, casual cook-along episode of The Keto Vegan, I roast up a sensational batch of low-carb veg with Richmond’s meat-free no-chicken pieces. It’s all about flavour layering, sesame oil obsessions, and unapologetically high fat content — just the way we like it. Whether you’re a cauliflower fan or you side-eye your courgette, this one’s for anyone who wants a hearty, smoky dish that’s keto vegan to the core. Ingredients Protein of your choice – I used Richmond Meat-free no-chicken chargrilled pieces Veggies of your choice – make sure they’re low carbs. I used: Celeriac Green beans Mushrooms Asparagus Pak Choi For the flavourings/sauce Oil, oil and more oil Liquid Smoke Soy Sauce (light) No sugar sugar Smoked paprika 🔑 Key Takeaways Keto Tip: Don't skimp on oil! Healthy fats are your friend, especially when you’re not relying on sauces. Veggie Power: Broccoli and cauliflower are classics, but feel free to swap in your favourites — green beans and celeriac totally steal the show here. Flavour Stacking 101: Start with olive oil, then layer in sesame oil, soy sauce, liquid smoke, and smoked paprika for bold, complex flavours. Strategic Roasting: Add softer veg like pak choy and asparagus tips later in the bake to avoid overcooking. No-Sugar Sugar? Yes Please: Sugar-free sweeteners can help balance umami and smokiness without breaking keto rules. Tweak As You Go: Taste, adjust, repeat. This isn’t paint-by-numbers cooking — it’s more jazz improv in an oven tray. 🎧 Best Moments “Do you get the idea that I like smoky things? I do. Bit obvious, isn’t it?” “That does not look like a little bit at all, that looks like quite a bloody lot… okay, it’s going to be a big dish.” “You want it to kind of thicken up as much as you can. And by putting a little bit of sugar in there… sugar-free sugar, because we are keto.” “Turn it over again, tested the flavour… and you can see I did. I wanted more paprika because it was pretty bland at that time.” “I think I used a whole bottle of sesame oil on that one.”   #KetoVegan #LowCarbRoast #VeganTrayBake #PlantBasedKeto #MeatFreeBBQ #KetoVeganCooking #SmokyVeggieBake #NoChickenRoast   Valuable ResourcesFor an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-howFor a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how Host BioRachel, a once morbidly obese individual, experienced a remarkable body transformation through the keto diet.
