How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 4 to 6 chicken sausages, sliced (or plant-based sausage)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 bell peppers (any color)
- 12 ounces asparagus
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 4 handfuls arugula or spring mix
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut aminos (Note 1)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- sauerkraut, to taste
- creamy dip of choice (such as Almond and Garlic Dip, Note 2)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim the asparagus by removing a few inches off the hard bottom stalks. Slice the bell peppers into strips. Set aside.
- Step 2: Chop the sweet potatoes (peeled or unpeeled) into 1 inch pieces. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway. The potatoes will be ready when they are fork-tender.
- Step 3: Add the trimmed asparagus, bell peppers, and sliced sausage to the baking sheet with the potatoes (or use a second baking sheet). Toss the vegetables with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Raise the oven temperature to 410 degrees Fahrenheit. Roast the vegetables for another 10 to 12 minutes.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot (a drop of water should sizzle on contact with the oil), add the sliced shiitakes and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Stir regularly.
- Step 4: Once the mushrooms have softened, add the coconut aminos. Stir for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned and lightly crisp on the sides. Set aside.
- Serve: Build the bowls with a handful of greens, the roasted veggies, shiitakes, and sausage. Top each with a dollop of creamy sauce and some sauerkraut. Drizzle with optional olive oil and lemon juice. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Coconut aminos is a soy-free alternative to tamari or soy sauce that gives great caramelization and flavor here. If you don't have aminos, try substituting it with 1/2 tablespoon of tamari mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. It won't get quite as crisp, but will still add flavor. Note 2: Some tasty dip ideas include Cilantro Bitchin' Sauce, Everything and the Elote Dip (available at Trader Joe's), hummus, guacamole, and/or artichoke dip.
