Our bodies are not separate from nature and we are actually intertwined with it, that's why incorporating seasonal foods in our meals and avoiding eating too many raw fruits/veggies and salads will ensure optimal nourishment for our bodies. One way we love to cook our veggies is by roasting them to transform them into caramelized, magical goodness. Here's a super easy, yummy Roasted Veggies + Avocado Dip recipe that you can enjoy when you have guest over or just to munch on your own:
Ingredients:
Roasted Veggies:
Topping (optional):
Optional: Sprinkle your pomegranate seeds on top.
Enjoy!!
Ingredients:
Roasted Veggies:
- veggies you have on hand, (we used 1/2 a sweet potato, 1 cup cauliflowers, 1 bunch of carrots, and 1 cup of Brussels sprouts)
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- pinch of salt & pepper (we love using truffle salt)
- 2 ripe avocados
- a few roasted garlic cloves (or use 2 fresh cloves)
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika
- Juice of 1 lemon
Topping (optional):
- 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Rinse, peel, and cut the veggies into smaller pieces and place in your baking sheet. (Note: by slicing the sweet potato into thinner slices you ensure it cooks evenly with everything else).
- Add your oil and salt & pepper to the pan and rub the oil and seasoning into the vegetables and arrange into an even layer (try to avoid any overlap).
- Roast in the over for 25-35minutes (depending on your oven and the type of veggies you use). In the meantime that they cook you can make your dip:
- To a mini food processor, add all your ingredients, and blend away. Easy as that, you should have a yogurt like consistency. Transfer your dip to your serving platter, and even out with the back of your spoon or a spatula (we love putting the dip underneath the veggies as we find, it looks superb to serve that way).
- Once the veggies are fully roasted, transfer the roasted veggies on top of the dip on the serving platter.
Optional: Sprinkle your pomegranate seeds on top.
Enjoy!!
