Herb Roasted Summer Veggies

By

I’m often asked how I get my family to eat their veggies.  The short answer is simple, offer a variety of color, texture and flavors.  Serve with an easy-to-make, nutrient-rich homemade veggie-based dip or dressing to pump up the flavor.  (Yes, dressings and dips can be made with MORE veggies).  No need for excess oil or sugar, simply use the veggies you have on hand and blend them up in your Vitamix or other high speed blender. Our Herb Roasted Summer Veggies are packed with flavor and combine cauliflower florets, ripe summer squash, and Herbs de Provence (French thyme, savory, fennel, rosemary, marjoram, basil, lavender and tarragon).  Feel free to use any of your favorite herbal combinations or simply sprinkle with a little sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Ingredients
  1. 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  2. 2-4 zucchini or any summer squash of choice, sliced
  3. 2-3 tablespoons dried herbal blend of choice (We used Herbs de Provence from our local Savory Spice Shop)
  4. 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  5. 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
  6. Fresh cracked pepper to taste
  7. Garnish: fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Combine prepared veggies in a large bowl. Toss with coconut oil, sea salt, pepper and dried herbs.
  3. Lay coated vegetables out in a single layer on a baking pan.
  4. Roast 15-25 minutes. Note: I prefer my veggies a little on the crispy side, therefore typically only roast for about 15 minutes. Cooking time is completely up to you taste. The longer the cooking time, the sweeter the veggie.
  5. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Drizzle with our Creamy Green Goddess Dressing.
  6. ENJOY!
