Moo Shu Vegetables – Sheet Pan Meal
Moo Shu Vegetables is made healthier in this version of one of my favorite take-out dishes. This recipe is completely plant-based, so it’s perfect for vegans, vegetarians, and anyone wanting to eat more veggies. An easy substitute for the classic mandarin pancake makes this an easy and healthy weeknight meal.
Techniques for perfect Moo Shu Vegetables
- Roast the veggies. Roasting the veggies with a light coat of ginger sauce gives them an amazing flavor.
- Get creative! I kept the ingredient list short for this version to keep it simple, but feel free to add other veggies that you like. Zucchini, squash, bell peppers, or our super crunchy tofu all come to mind as delicious additions.
- Use a tortilla. What? A tortilla? Yes, using a ready to cook tortilla brushed with a toasted sesame oil blend is a delicious and easy replacement for a mandarin pancake, saving you a ton of time that would normally be spent rolling out the pancakes.

- Ginger Sesame Sauce: Stir together 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.

On the second baking sheet, brush sliced shiitake mushrooms, green onions, and sliced carrots with the other half of the Ginger Sesame Sauce from step 2. Bake at 450°F until vegetables are slightly browned, about 20 minutes, turning and rotating pans once halfway through.
