(Winter) Spring Roll Noodle Bowl

  • 80z thin rice noodles

  • 1 large carrot

  • 1 medium radish

  • .5 kohlrabi

  • 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced

  • 3 green onions

  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (and/or fresh basil)

  • Optional toppings: Chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, mung bean sprouts, fresh mint, sriracha, etc.

For the peanut sauce:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (I use creamy, natural)

  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)

  • 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon or lime juice

  • 1-2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp. fresh grated ginger

  • Hot water to thin to desired consistency

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prepare the vegetables: Very thinly slice/julienne. Roughly chop cilantro, large stems removed. Set aside.

  • Cook noodles: Cook your rice noodles according to package directions, leaving al dente (slightly firm, not mushy). Drain when finished.

  • Make the peanut sauce: While noodles are cooking, make the sauce. In a medium bowl, add all sauce ingredients (except water). Then heat 3/4 cup water to just under boiling. Add water to bowl a couple tablespoons at a time, slowly whisking and working the mixture together. Continue adding water until sauce reaches desired consistency. (I usually add about 1/2 cup water.)

  • Assemble your bowl: Add cooked noodles, sliced veggies, and then drizzle with peanut sauce. Garnish with any optional toppings. (ex peanuts and sesame seeds.)

Classic Root Veggie Roast

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds root vegetables, such as carrots, radishes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, beets, etc. peeled (if desired) and cut into rough 1-inch chunks

  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F.

  2. Place 3 pounds cut root vegetables, garlic, onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. Spread out in an even layer. Roast for 30 minutes.

  3. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped rosemary leaves, and toss to combine. Spread back out in an even layer. Continue to roast until the vegetables are tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more.
