Organic Roasted Root Vegetables

This organic roasted root vegetables recipe is perfect for a side dish with many meals. This is a great side dish in the fall because that is when the root vegetables are at its peak. I do want to note that I also make this recipe throughout the whole year. But, certain times of the year I’ll use different vegetables because some of the ones I use are not always in season. It is sometimes difficult finding organic root veggies down in South Florida when they are technically out of season. This usually happens in the spring time. Also this is a great colorful side dish for Thanksgiving. This side dish pays homage to the root vegetables that sometimes get overlooked. Also, whenever my sister comes back home to visit she always begs me to make this for her. I love going to the farmers market in the fall and picking out all of these colorful organic vegetables to make this dish. This is a great way to get all your nutrients in one casserole dish. It has your perfect mix of nutrient dense potatoes and other hearty vegetables.

Organic Roasted Root Vegetables

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Serving Size: 8-10

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, diced
  • 3 small Yukon potaotes, diced
  • 3 red beets, diced
  • 3 golden beets, diced
  • 1 medium-large turnip, diced
  • 1 medium-large rutabaga, diced
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and cut in thin circles
  • 3 carrots, peeled and cut in thin circles
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt (I use Himalayan pink sea salt)
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic n herb (by Simply Organic)
  • ¼ tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dice up all the vegetables and put them in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and seasonings. Mix together until the vegetables are coated with the oil and spices. Feel free to add more spices and oil at this point if need be. You can either coat a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or you can place the vegetables into a large casserole dish. Whichever way you chose to cook your vegetables are fine. Place it in the oven for 45-55 minutes. At the 45 minute mark check your vegetables and see if they are soft. At this point you may need to add a little bit more olive oil and mix the vegetables and cook for another 10 minutes. When vegetables are soft, take them out of the oven and serve warm with your main dish.

Notes

I have used both ways to cook the roasted root vegetables with either a casserole dish or a baking sheet and they both come out wonderful. If you use the casserole dish, make sure you check it in the middle, take it out, stir it, and put it back in the oven.

Feel free to add any spices you may like

Feel free to adjust the ingredient amount to your liking

You can use any root vegetables you like or take out ones you dont

Gluten Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Banana Bread 

I created this Gluten Free White Chocolate Pumpkin Banana Bread a couple of months ago when it was acceptable to start having pumpkin everything. Like I talked about in my post “Gluten Free Is Not A Fad When You Suffer From Celiac Disease” , I like to create gluten free dessert recipes. All the banana bread recipes that I make are also gluten free but they don’t taste like they are gluten free. Also, what is fall time without pumpkin desserts? This pumpkin banana bread would make a lovely dessert for Thanksgiving. If you are gluten free or you have gluten free guests coming to your house or just want to make a great tasting fall dessert, this would be an easy and delicious choice.

In a bowl mix the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl mix the gluten free flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt mix into the other bowl and mix well until combined. Do not over mix.

Gluten-Free-pumpkin-bread-3

Flour and grease a 9X5 loaf pan. Pour in the mix and smooth it out. Put it in a preheated 325 degree oven for 65-70 minutes.

Once it is done take it out and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before you add the white chocolate.

gluten-free-pumpkin-bread-5

Make a double broiler on the stove and put it on a medium high heat.

Once the water starts getting hot, add the white chocolate (either half of a bar or white chocolate chips) with 1 tsp of coconut oil to the top pot. Mix with a wooden spoon until completely melted.

Once your banana bread is cooled and your white chocolate is melted, drizzle it on top.

Maple Cream Cheese Pumpkin Toast 

As you read in my recent blog post,  I discovered Rudi’s Pumpkin Sandwich Bread and came up with this recipe for maple cream cheese pumpkin toast. I love putting cream cheese on my toast and adding the maple gave it a sweeter flavor. I also love using maple syrup for everything as it also makes a great sweetener with a yummy flavor. Whenever you use maple syrup, I highly recommend you using Grade B a.k.a Dark Amber which has a stronger maple taste. This recipe is so easy to make and it has every ingredient of fall time all in one delicious breakfast item. This recipe is for one serving but it can easily be doubled or tripled. You can make this recipe for breakfast or it can be enjoyed as a snack.

Maple-Cream-Cheese-Pumpkin-Toast

For this recipe, I used Organic Valley Cream Cheese, 365 Organic Grade B Maple Syrup (Whole Foods Market brand), and of course Rudi’s Organic Bakery Pumpkin Sandwich Bread. You can use your favorite maple syrup and cream cheese brand, just as long as you use Rudi’s Organic Bakery Pumpkin Sandwich Bread. 🙂

 

Maple Cream Cheese Pumpkin Toast

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Serving Size: 1

Maple Cream Cheese Pumpkin Toast

Ingredients

  • 1 piece of Rudi’s Pumpkin Sandwich Bread, lightly toasted
  • 1 tbsp of organic cream cheese (full fat or ½ fat will work)
  • 1 tsp Grade B organic maple syrup (or Grade A)

Instructions

  1. First, lightly toast the bread. As it is toasting, take 1 tablespoon of cream cheese and put it in a small mixing bowl along with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup. Mix until smooth consistency. Once the toast is done take it out of the toaster and let it sit for a minute or 2 to cool down. Lastly, spread the cream cheese on your toast.

Notes

feel free to use either Grade B or Grade A maple syrup as long as it is organic and real maple. Also, feel free to sprinkle pumpkin spice or cinnamon on top of the cream cheese.

Without hesitation, I put it in my shopping cart. It is Organic, Vegan, Non-GMO, Kosher, and made with real pumpkin and recognizable ingredients. There are fourteen slices of pumpkin bread in the package. Also, you can smell the pumpkin spice without opening the bag. This morning for breakfast, I made maple cream cheese and topped it on my toasted pumpkin bread (I will post the recipe soon 🙂 ). It was so delicious and tasted like fall time which is non-existent in South Florida. For those of you who are obsessed with pumpkin, you will love this delicious pumpkin sandwich bread.  You can top this bread with cream cheese, butter, butter substitute, coconut butter, maple butter, or anything you desire. This would also make a fantastic pumpkin french toast or even a classic Thanksgiving sandwich. There are so many amazing recipes you can make with Rudi’s Pumpkin Sandwich Bread. I will experiment some other recipes with the pumpkin bread so that I can share it will all of you.
