Ok Jen, I gotta admit, this is an odd assortment to put together.
My first reaction was to the beets. I can't eat them (taste like dirt) so my first thought was to just throw the whole dish out. lol
Because all of your ingredients are really fairly mild in flavor (if you really want to try this out again) I would suggest maybe adding some tomato paste, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and small amount of liquid smoke to add some flavor. I would take a couple of tablespoons of vegetable broth, and add it to a saute pan. Add like two tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke and whisk until smooth and heated through. Then add your vegetables and saute to coat. I still would omit the beets because I am not entirely sure how it would taste. (Maybe serve them on the side)
Edited to add, how about adding some green or greek olives too?
Good luck!
