Roasted Rainbow Vegetable

Roasted rainbow vegetable side dish is simple to make but pefect to pair with any protein as a side dish!

Designing a healthy dish starts with including a variety of “rainbow” assortment of vegetables and fruits. By “eating the rainbow” I am simply referring to making sure your plate contains a variety of colors: red, orange, yellow, blue, green, purple. Being mindful of including a wide array of colors in the diet ensures your body is getting a full spectrum of nutrients and antioxidants for optimal health.

Next time you build out your meals, I encourage you to ask yourself these questions:

1. Does my plate include green?
2. Does my plate include orange or yellow?
3. Does my plate include red or purple?

 

Ingredients:

• 1 peeled and thinly chopped beet
• 2 peeled and thinly chopped carrot
• 2 cups chopped and washed broccoli
• 1-2 tbl unrefined coconut oil
• Thyme, salt, pepper to taste
• 1 tbl minced garlic

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Wash and chop vegetables.
3. Add vegetables to glass baking dish or sheet pan with unbleached parchment paper.
4. Drizzle melted coconut oil. Mix with veggies and align veggies flat as much as possible.
5. Add seasonings
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes depending on thickness of vegetables

Enjoy!
