Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
-
1 lb seasonal root vegetables (carrots or sweet potatoes), chopped
-
3 tbsp raw organic honey
-
2 tbsp grass-fed butter or extra virgin olive oil
-
1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
-
6 oz firm, salty artisanal cheese (like Halloumi or Feta)
-
A pinch of Himalayan pink salt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
Toss the chopped roots with the oil/butter, herbs, and salt. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
-
Roast for 25 minutes until the edges are caramelized and tender.
-
In the final 5 minutes, nestle thick slices of cheese directly onto the pan among the vegetables to soften.
-
Remove from the oven and drizzle with the raw honey while the dish is warm but not boiling.
Crunchy Mama Tip: Remember to drizzle your raw honey after the vegetables have slightly cooled from the oven's highest heat. This preserves the delicate live enzymes and medicinal properties that make raw honey such a powerful functional food for your gut.
