*This recipe makes approx. 2 portions. It’s a great, easy stand-alone lunch option OR a side to go along with a roasted salmon or chicken.
Ingredients:
1 bag of peeled, baby carrots (approx. 16 oz)
3 cups of broccoli florets
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon olive oil (or algae oil)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tablespoon stevia, erythritol, or Choc Zero Maple Syrup
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sriracha
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
salt & pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degree F and lightly oil a baking sheet with coconut oil (or line with non stick foil).
- In a medium bowl toss together the baby carrots with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt & pepper. Evenly distribute the carrots over the baking sheet and let roast for 15 minutes.
- In the same bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining olive oil, 1 garlic clove and a pinch of salt & pepper.
- In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sriracha and the last remaining garlic clove. Set aside.
- When the carrots have been roasting 15 minutes, remove from oven and add the broccoli to the baking sheet, use a spatula to flip and toss the broccoli and carrots together and let lay flat. Add baking sheet to the oven for a 10 minutes (15 if you like your broccoli/carrots more tender).
- Remove from oven and add broccoli and carrots to the same bowl, pour over the soy sauce mixture and toss well to evenly coat.
- Portion into 2 bowls and sprinkled on sesame seeds, enjoy!
