Preheat the oven to 200°C (top-bottom). Wash all the vegetables. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes about 2 cm. Peel the carrot and cut it into sticks 3–4 cm long. Peel the celery and cut it into cubes similar to the potatoes. Cut the bell pepper in half, remove the seeds, and slice it into strips. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus (they will break at their natural point) and cut them into pieces 3–4 cm long. Cut the onion in half and slice it into feathers. Leave the garlic in its skins (you will squeeze out the soft flesh later).
Description
Creamy roasted vegetable sauce combines Polish, seasonal ingredients with a modern twist: roasted potatoes, carrots, celery, and bell peppers enriched with young asparagus and fresh sorrel, adding a slightly tangy, green note. The sauce has a smooth, slightly creamy consistency thanks to the cream, an intense aroma of roasted vegetables, and the freshness of herbs. Perfect as a dip for baked kabanos, vegetable chips, rye bread toasts, or as an addition to sandwiches and party snacks. Visually appealing with a warm, golden-green color and visible green streaks of sorrel, it gives a modern look on the plate.

Preparation steps
Preparing the vegetables
Transfer the chopped vegetables to a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Add canola oil and 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of pepper. Mix with your hands or a silicone spatula so that all pieces are coated with a thin layer of oil. Spread the vegetables in a single layer, do not stack them on top of each other — this will ensure nice roasting instead of steaming.
Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the tray and gently stir the vegetables with a spatula so that those on the edges move to the center. Bake until most pieces have golden-brown edges and a soft center — check with a fork: it should easily pierce the potato and carrot.
Blending and finishing
Remove the baking tray from the oven and set aside for 3–4 minutes to let the vegetables cool slightly. Squeeze the soft flesh from the roasted garlic cloves (holding the skins) into a large bowl or blending container. Transfer all the roasted vegetables to the blender or a tall mixing container. Add the sorrel leaves (torn into smaller pieces) along with the cream and apple cider vinegar.
Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes until the sauce is completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 g) of water or more cream. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and possibly vinegar. If you want to add mustard, mix in 15 g now — it will add sharpness and stabilize the emulsion.
Finishing
If the sauce is too sour due to the sorrel, add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or a bit more cream (optional). Pour the sauce into a bowl or glass bottle and serve slightly warm or at room temperature. The sauce will thicken in the fridge — before serving, stir lightly or whisk.
Serving
Serve the sauce in a small bowl as a dip for vegetable chips, pieces of toasted bread, or as a spread for sandwiches. Garnish the top with a few leaves of sorrel or thin slices of asparagus for contrast. At a party, place it next to various snacks – the flavor combines the sweetness of roasted vegetables with the distinct green note of sorrel.
Fun Fact
Roasted vegetable sauce is a modern variation of traditional Polish cream soups — roasting vegetables enhances their sweetness and intensifies the flavor, a technique often used in contemporary restaurant cuisine.

Tips
Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. For a spicier effect, add a teaspoon of hot mustard while blending. It pairs wonderfully with whole grain bread, garlic crackers, or roasted vegetables as a dip.
Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, mix and, if necessary, bring to room temperature or gently heat in a water bath (do not boil). Do not freeze — the texture may separate.
