Roasted Veggies & Toasted Buckwheat Seeds

There are still lot of root vegetables on the market stalls. You can still find amazing stuff to roast with a little bit of olive oil. I’ve also used buckwheat seeds for this recipe. Buckwheat even if called ‘black wheat’ is gluten-free. You can have some as much as you want. If you have a doubt on gluten-free flour or cereals, please refer to my post on that subject in the ‘Products & Advices’ folder.Ingredients: Middle sized, peeled and sliced:

  • 1 orange carrot
  • 1 purple one
  • 1 parsnip
  • 1 yellow beet
  • 1 green turnip
  • 1 jerusalem artichoke

Then:

  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 2 tbsp tamari (wheat- free soy sauce)
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for the seeds & 4 tbsp for the veggies
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • 1 handful parsley leaves, chopped thinly
  • 1 handful mint leaves, chopped thinly
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • the juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • salt and pepper

Recipe:

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  2. Display the veggies in an oven dish, drizzle with olive oil and top with thyme and rosemary
  3. In a bowl, mix the buckwheat, the herbs, the tamari, the olive oil, the water and the agave syrup
  4. Spread out the mixture in an oven dish covered with baking paper
