Nourish Recipe: Apple Cider Roasted Fall Veggies
Apple Cider Roasted Fall Veggies
STAY TUNED FOR OUR NEW 2nd ADDITION EAT DRINK SHINE COOKBOOK - RELEASES OCTOBER 23rd!
This is a great way to try new fall veggies and squashes. Squash is very beneficial for health - it is high in antioxidants and vitamin C, which are both great immune system boosters for this time of year. This recipe is also high in fiber, which makes for a high-functioning digestive system.
Because of their natural sweetness, squash is a kid-friendly ingredient that serves them well!
Serves: 4-6 | Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 40 mins
Ingredients:
About 1 lb. fall squash, peeled and sliced into 1-inch cubes. This can also include fall veggies such as fennel, carrots, mushrooms, golden beets, etc.
1 Tbs. coconut oil or butter
1 cup apple cider
1 teas. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbs. maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
½ Tbs. chopped rosemary
Thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
How to:
Melt coconut oil or butter in skillet with rosemary.
After a few minutes, add the squash, salt, cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vinegar. You may need to add some additional cider (or water), enough to cover the squash.
Bring to a boil and then cover on a slow simmer.
Braise for 30 minutes or until tender.
With a slotted spoon, remove veggies. At this point the juice should be reduced to a glaze. If not, raise heat for a few minutes until excess liquid evaporates. Add a splash of vinegar if you like at the end and drizzle over veggies.
Serve warm and enjoy!
