Ok, so if you have not ventured to the land of roasted cauliflower or broccoli yet you have not lived. Steamed schmeamed. Roasting is the way of the future, doesn’t take much longer than steaming it, and tastes ah-mazing. This is about to change your life. Seriously.
Cruciferous veggies are a powerhouse of nutrition, are loaded with vitamins & fibre and are an excellent food to help support our bodies detoxification pathways.
1/2 cauliflower, roughly chopped
1/2 broccoli, roughly chopped
1 sweet potato, cubed
2 tbs butter/ghee/coconut oil
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tbs hemp seeds (optional), I use THIS BRAND
Dressing-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 200C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Whack the sweet potato on and add half the butter and pop it in the oven for 20mins. Pull it out, add the cauliflower & broccoli plus the rest of the butter (let’s be honest, I probably added double that amount of butter because I bloody love butter but you do whatever spins your tyres) and pop it back in the oven for about another 20mins until all the veggies are cooked. You might want to pull it out after 5-10 mins and give it a good mix around so the butter gets to spread its love. Set aside to cool while you make your dressing. For the dressing, get a small jar or container with an airtight lid. Add all the dressing ingredients & shake the bejesus out of it until it is all combined. Add the roasted veggies to a big bowl, sprinkle over the parsley, drizzle with the dressing and toss well. Finally sprinkle over the hemp seeds and serve it up.
