An easy vegan and low carb recipe for Roasted Butternut with a vegetable medley filling
Ingredients:
- 2 medium butternuts halved
- 30 ml olive oil
- salt and pepper to season
- foil to cover butternut
- 4 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- foil to wrap carrots
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
- 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
- 2 onions finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes diced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup almond flakes toasted
- salt and black pepper to season
How to:
- First off, crank the oven up to 240 degrees Celsius and prepare the butternut by slicing them in half, add a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Wrap each half in foil and place in an oven-safe dish.
- Then, place the chopped carrots in foil and add coconut oil and maple syrup. Wrap and place next to butternut in an oven-safe dish.
- Roast the veggies in the hot oven for 40 – 45 minutes. The butternut should be soft after roasting time and you can now scoop out the amount of flesh you would like to remove to fill with veggies.
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut oil and saute the onion, celery, garlic and ginger for a few minutes until soft.
- Add the diced sun-dried tomatoes and mix through.
- Remove from heat and add the roasted sweet carrots as well as the spinach. Give it a good mix.
- Fill the hollow part of the roasted butternuts with the vegetables and top with roasted almond flakes. Season and serve.
