We have all seen those irresistible seafood boil pictures and videos everywhere. This Jamaican-style veggie boil delivers the same bold flavour and saucy goodness, made vegetarian and finished with a satisfying semi-crunchy texture.
For the roasted vegetables
2 cups carrots, chopped
2 cups brown beech mushrooms
1½ cups okra
2 ears ofcorn, cut into thirds
2 cups squash, cubed
For the sauce
3 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, finely diced
1 cup sweet peppers, diced
3 cloves garlic, grated
1½ tbsp all-purpose seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp crushed pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the carrots, mushrooms, okra, corn, and squash on a baking sheet. Roast for 15–18 minutes, just until slightly tender but still firm. Remove from the oven and place in a large bowl.
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, sweet peppers, and grated garlic. Sauté until the onions become soft and translucent.
Stir in the all-purpose seasoning, smoked paprika, crushed pepper flakes, and fish sauce, mixing well to build flavour.
Pour in 1 cup of water and let the sauce simmer for 8–10 minutes until thick and glossy.
Turn off the heat and immediately pour the hot sauce over the roasted vegetables. Toss well so the heat of the sauce finishes cooking the vegetables while keeping them slightly crunchy.
Lightly roasting the vegetables first allows them to retain their texture. The hot buttery sauce gently cooks them just enough, giving you bold flavour with a satisfying bite in every mouthful.
