Vegan French onion pot roast is a comforting dish that reimagines a classic favorite. It features a hearty plant-based roast made from jackfruit, slow-cooked in a savory broth infused with caramelized onions and aromatic herbs. The onions provide a sweet, rich flavor, while the broth, typically seasoned with garlic, thyme, and a splash of balsamic vinegar, enhances the overall depth. Served with creamy vegan garlic mashed potatoes or crusty bread, this dish is perfect for cozy dinners. It’s not only satisfying but also a delightful way to enjoy a plant-based twist on traditional French onion flavors.
Vegan French Onion Pot Roast
Pot roast used to be my favorite meal for my mom to make, when we’d come for a visit. I miss the vibe of a pot roast and potato meal, so I’m recreating that meal for you. I’m also doing a variation of pot roast that I saw someone do, and it really inspired me. This will incorporate French onion soup, which should add a further dimension to the jackfruit pot roast flavors. I hope you enjoy this vegan version!
