Turns out the Kardashians know a thing or two about making vegetables taste delicious. In a recent issue of American weeklyKris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian shared their own recipe for a tasty lemon-basil roasted vegetable medley, and it’s totally vegan.
The new recipe is part of Kardashian and Jenner’s partnership with Country Crock, the popular spread brand owned by Upfield. The duo has been promoting their plant-based butter alternative since April when they posted a baking video with Kardashian’s daughter True Thompson.
“What I love about Country Crock is it’s the only thing I have in my fridge that’s older than me,” Jenner said in the video. “I’ve had this since the dawn of time. The fact that they have vegetable butter makes me really happy because you (his daughters) are trying to make me eat the same way you do, and I don’t want to taste any difference.

Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner’s roasted vegetable recipe
The simple vegetable mix recipe involves tossing Country Crock vegetable butter into a shallow roasting pan with zucchini, red peppers and red onions, before roasting them until soft and tossing them again with garlic.
After that, they are mixed with tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest and black pepper. They can then be served hot, chilled or at room temperature.
“It’s so versatile and it’s always good,” Kardashian said. “It’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser, especially when you use fresh vegetables and Country Crock Plant-Based Butter.”
The mother-daughter duo also recommend serving the vegetables over hot couscous or orzo “for a spicy dish.”
According to Country Crock, the Kardashians are a “natural choice” for a brand partnership.
“Kris has been using Country Crock Original Spread in her cooking, in her words, “since the dawn of time,” and since Khloe has been incorporating more dairy-free products into her diet and influencing Kris to do the same, Country Crock Plant Butter is the perfect ingredient for Khloé and Kris to use in their dishes this spring,” Country Crock brand director Courtney Cotter told VegNews earlier this year.
