Hold the broth on this one – instead we are whipping up these saucy and delicious Roasted Veggie Ramen Noodles. A quick & healthy weeknight dinner!
This time of year I LOVE roasting big trays of veggies – especially brussels sprouts and cauliflower. And what better way to eat them, then with a BIG bowl of saucy ramen noodles?!? This meal is filling, savory and perfectly seasoned. The best way to eat your veggies!
How to roast the veggies
First things first, we need to roast the veggies. Dice up the sprouts and the cauliflower and toss them in separate bowls with a few seasonings and some oil. Lay them out on a couple baking sheets and pop them in the oven.
After 15 minutes, flip the cauliflower and check on the sprouts – because they are seasoned with soy sauce, they can caramelize pretty quick. Cook the cauliflower for another 15 minutes and pull the sprouts out as soon as they reach your desired crispiness. I OBVIOUSLY like mine super crispy, but do what’s right for you!
How to make the noodles
While the veggies are roasting, whip together the sauce and cook the noodles. I just bought plain old ramen packs (and tossed the seasoning packet). Just be sure not to overcook them since they will continue cooking in the sauce.
Place the same pot you cooked the noodles in back on the stove and cook down the tofu in sesame oil, corn starch and pepper. Let any excess moisture cook off, then add in the garlic, shallots and 1/2 of the sauce. Cook until everything gets tender and starts to caramelize.
Lastly, add the cooked noodles and the rest of the sauce back to the pot. Give everything a good mix, then serve it up with the roasted veggies, green onions & sesame seeds.
Swaps you can make
This recipe works well with all kinds of veggies. You could serve this with roasted broccoli, carrots, bok choy – all good options.
You can also swap out the ramen noodles for spaghetti, linguine or rice noodles. This is a great recipe to use what you have on hand! So open up the fridge and make these noodles tonight!

So did you use 2 or 3 squares of ramen? bc the description says 3 but it looks like 2 in your video. I’m making this tonight 🙂
I used 3!
We subbed broccoli for the brussel sprouts because my mom is not a fan. Turned out great, very flavorful. Will definitely make it again.
Absolutely one of our very favorite meals. Simply delicious.
This was so good and came together quickly. It was a big hit with our kids, shallots and all. It was a little salty but to be fair I didn’t have low sodium tamari on hand (we made it GF).
This dish was so good! Have shared with friends all will definitely be making again! Thank you!
We decided to make this with spaghetti noodles and it still turned out so super delicious!! I loved loved the way the veggies were roasted. It has a perfect combo of sweet and spicy!
Hi Jennifer – so glad you enjoyed this!
