Happy Monday guys!

I’ve kinda dropped the ball a bit on vegetable side dishes here at the BHK. I apologize folks. I shared my Quick and Easy Potatoes Romanoff way back in November, but clearly it’s time for another veggie side.

This Roasted Asian Cauliflower and Carrots is a simple side with so much flavor. I’ve always loved roasting veggies and I’m also a fan of Asian flavors, so I put the two together to make this tasty side. It also works well as a healthy meal served in lettuce cups if you chop the veggies up a smidge more than what’s pictured here.

The sauce is a tangy, somewhat spicy sauce made from a combination of soy sauce, water, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, fresh ginger and garlic. I thicken it with some cornstarch, bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for about two minutes before removing it from the heat and tossing it with the roasted veggies.

I love to serve the veggies topped with some chopped unsalted peanuts. If I happen to have sesame seeds on hand, I sometimes garnish with those too.

This is a healthy side that’s perfect for your weekly meal prep too. If you’re a fan of Asian flavors, I think this one will be right up your alley. Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Roasted Asian Cauliflower and Carrots Recipe:

As mentioned above, this would be delicious served in lettuce cups if you coarsely chopped the cauliflower and carrots instead of leaving in bigger pieces as pictured.

I used one teaspoon of of the chili garlic sauce. If you like things spicier feel free to add more. You can also use sriracha instead of the chili garlic sauce. You can find both at your local market.
