Ingredients
Oil-Free Roasted Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato, cut into 1” rounds
- 2 whole carrots, peeled, halved, and chopped
- 1 bundle broccolini, roughly chopped
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 medium bell pepper (thinly sliced lengthwise)
- 1 small beet, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds- large rounds halved
- 2 cups chopped cauliflower
- 1/2 medium zucchini squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tsp curry powder or seasoning of choice
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
Almond Butter Sauce
- 1 cup Georgia Grinder’s Original Almond Butter
- 1/2 cup filtered water + more as needed
- 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 TBSP maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Himalayan sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- cilantro, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare your almond butter sauce in advance. Add almond butter, lemon juice, maple syrup, paprika, ginger, cayenne, and filtered water to a high speed blender and pulse everything until it’s smooth and creamy, adding more water in 1 TBSP increments as needed. Refrigerate the sauce until ready for use.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add the sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, and beets to one baking sheet and the bell pepper, broccolini, and zucchini to another baking sheet. Season both to taste with salt and curry powder or your favorite spice and toss to coat.
- Bake for a total of 20-30 minutes or to desired doneness. The broccolini is done in 15-20 minutes while the starchier vegetables are done in about 30 minutes. Watch the oven closely and check for your ideal doneness. For crispier veggies, roast longer, and for just tender veggies, don’t roast past 30 minutes.
- Serve the roasted vegetables plated with a drizzle of almond butter sauce and a handful of chopped cilantro.
- Store leftover vegetables and almond butter sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheat before serving.
