This is one of my favourite back pocket recipes. Easy and affordable while also being loaded with veggies. I love using this sauce for family dinner nights to appease the picky eaters in my family. I make a double batch and freeze half for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°.

Roughly chop your tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, garlic and onions. Add them to a lined baking sheet and coat in olive oil, oregano, chili flakes and fennel seeds. Roast in the oven for 25-35 minutes or until soft and golden.

Remove your roasted vegetables from the oven and add to a blender, blend with the salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and nutritional yeast. You may need an additional 1 Tbsp of olive oil here to get the smooth texture. Blend on low until you reach a smooth consistency.

Use this sauce for pizza, pasta, chicken parm or eggs in purgatory. You can also portion and freeze this sauce easily for make ahead meals and prep!
