Quick 1-pan meal with three kinds of veggie noodles, chickpeas, and yogurt dill tahini sauce. Perfect for meal prep!
Are you binge-watching any good shows lately?
I recently started Lucifer, which has been thoroughly entertaining to me during the move!
It was the first comforting thing I watched in the new place, surrounded by takeout and piles and piles of freshly moved *stuff*.
With the “move” is technically over; all of said *stuff* is in one place but mentally I still feel like a moving truck with boxes waiting to be unpacked.
Which means dinner needs to be something that DOESN’T require a lot of unpacking, you feel me?
This Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake is warm, comforting, and so easy to throw together for weeknight dinners!
Why Bake Rainbow Veggie Noodles
The inspiration for this recipe came from a recipe from the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan.
Ever since I saw veggie noodles spread across a baking sheet accented with herbs and white sauce I knew I had to recreate something like it for the blog.
Veggie noodles baked?!
Genius.
Especially since I so often buy several packages at the store over the weekend, only to forget about them in the back of the fridge until Friday.
Womp womp womp.
What Rainbow Veggies to Use
If you’ve never tried roasting veggie noodles before, you’re in for a treat.
I love using these convenient veggie noodles straight from the packaging because they’re pre-cut and ready to roast in their noodle form.
I used Cece’s Veggie Co. Noodled:
The real bonus here is that their delicate shape allows them to roast in less time than the usually chunks!
I love the combination of beet, sweet potato, and zucchini noodles, but feel free to add an extra color to the veggie rainbow or substitute in your favorite veggie noodle.
I think butternut squash, turnip noodles, or daikon radish noodles would be great here, too!
How to Make Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake
So we have a pretty vegetable noodles and chickpea protein base going.
Now we season them simply with optional avocado oil and a bit of Himalayan sea salt and garlic.
The sweet potato and beet noodles require more baking time than the zucchini noodles, so bake them separate first before adding on the zoodles.
I used about 2 cups of veggie noodles for each veggie, but you can add more or less depending on how many servings you anticipate needing.
The veggie noodles with shrink drastically in size while roasting, so keep that in mind as you portion out your tray for baking.
How to Make Yogurt Dill Tahini
The yogurt dill tahini sauce on top makes this dish feel fancy even though it’s so simplistic in nature.
All you need is:
- Unsweetened almond milk yogurt
- Tahini
- Fresh lemon
- Dill
- garlic powder
- Himalayan sea salt
You can easily whisk this sauce together in a mixing bowl while the veggies are baking so it’s ready to go when the timer goes off.
I like to spoon mine over the baking sheet straight out of the oven so the hot veggie noodles and chickpeas melts the yogurt tahini into a luscious runny sauce.
How to Serve Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake
Try making this Rainbow Veggie Noodle Bake with Yogurt Dill Tahini for an easy weeknight meal for the family.
It’s perfect for a warm dinner ready in under 30 minutes with minimal prep.
If you can’t find veggie noodles near you and don’t want to make your own, try subbing diced veggies here instead, increasing the bake time as needed to achieve the same great flavor.
If you’re not into chickpeas, swap in your favorite protein of choice instead or serve over quinoa or grains.
Leftovers reheat well combined with leftover yogurt dill tahini for an easy warm meal for days to come.
Enjoy!

[…] Kirchmaier uses the one-pan method to limit the amount of cleanup. She spreads out beet noodles, sweet potato noodles, and zucchini noodles on a baking sheet with some chickpeas, for good measure. But the options are endless when it comes to this meal. “Feel free to add an extra color to the veggie rainbow, or substitute in your favorite veggie noodle. I think butternut squash, turnip noodles, or daikon radish noodles would be great here, too,” she writes on her blog. […]
