Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Difficulty: Intermediate

Ingredients

  • 500g vegan raclette cheese (or vegan cheese slices suitable for melting)
  • 500g small potatoes, scrubbed and halved
  • 200g cherry tomatoes
  • 200g button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or herbes de Provence)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 baguette, sliced (for serving)
  • Cornichons (small pickles) for serving
  • Vegan butter for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion with olive oil, dried herbs, salt, and pepper.

  3. Spread the vegetables on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.

  4. While the vegetables are roasting, prepare your raclette grill or table-top grill according to manufacturer's instructions.

  5. Slice the vegan cheese into thin, meltable portions if not pre-sliced.

  6. Once the vegetables are done, transfer them to a serving platter.

  7. Set up your raclette station with the grilled vegetables, sliced baguette, cornichons, vegan butter, and vegan cheese slices.

  8. To serve, each person places a slice of vegan cheese in their raclette pan, melts it under the grill, and then scrapes it over their choice of vegetables and bread.

  9. Enjoy immediately, repeating the process with different combinations of vegetables and toppings.

Chef's Notes

  • If you don't have a raclette grill, you can use a regular oven. Place cheese on oven-safe dishes and broil until melted.
  • Experiment with different vegan cheese brands to find one that melts well for the best experience.
  • For a gluten-free option, serve with roasted potato slices instead of bread.
  • Leftover vegetables can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for future meals.
