Three Delicious Paleo Vegetable Recipes

The Paleo diet is all about eating wholesome, nutritious foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. It means lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats. If you're looking for some Paleo meal ideas or are new to the diet, you've come to the perfect place.

To help spice things up, check out these five delectable Paleo veggie recipes. From a savory roasted cauliflower dish to a sweet and satisfying roasted carrot dessert, there's something for everyone.

Healthy, tasty, and simple to prepare, sautéed Brussels sprouts with cranberries and pecans are a Paleo dinner. This recipe uses fresh Brussels sprouts, dried cranberries, and pecans, naturally gluten-free and Paleo-friendly.

The Brussels sprouts are sautéed in olive oil until they're tender and crispy, then they're tossed with the cranberries and pecans. The result is a delicious, healthy, festive side dish that's perfect for the holidays or any special occasion.

Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Lemon

Roasted broccoli is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. This recipe features garlic and lemon, two classic flavors that complement broccoli well.

The first step is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees. After washing, chop your broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Next, peel and slice two garlic cloves.

Mix the broccoli, garlic, the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes. Enjoy!

Cauliflower Rice Stir-Fry with Chicken and Vegetables

This cauliflower rice stir-fry is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy your favorite Chinese takeout dish without all the guilt! It's packed with chicken and vegetables and is cooked in a flavorful sauce. Serve it over cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.

Ingredients:

One tablespoon of olive oil
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts weighing 1 pound, chopped into bite-sized pieces.
Salt and pepper to taste
One large head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup stir-fry sauce*
One small zucchini, diced
One red bell pepper, diced

To make the cauliflower rice: Cut the florets off the cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until they're broken up into small pieces. Please do it sparingly, or you'll end up with mush.

The riced cauliflower is added to a big skillet heated to medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally stirring, until the cauliflower is tender. Add the chicken broth and stir-fry sauce and continue cooking for another minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until cooked through

Five delicious Paleo sweet potato recipes

There are so many ways to enjoy sweet potatoes. They have an earthy sweetness that’s a great alternative to regular white potatoes. Sweet potatoes can be used in many recipes, from soups and casseroles to desserts and chips. Here are five of our favorite Paleo sweet potato recipes.

These orange tubers contain beta-carotene, Vitamin C, iron, zinc, and manganese. With all those nutrients, you won’t just feel good after eating these sweet potatoes; you will also look good.

They’re one of the best sources of carotenoids — natural compounds found in plants that give them their bright yellow or orange color. These compounds help protect your body against damage from free radicals, which can lead to diseases like cancer if they accumulate over time.

Roasted sea scallops with sweet potato purée and asparagus

This fancy dish is perfect for a special occasion. It starts with roasted sea scallops topped with brown butter and thyme, then continues with a sweet potato purée garnished with roasted grapes and rosemary. The asparagus adds a nice green color to the presentation and a subtle earthy flavor that works beautifully with the sweetness of the scallops and potatoes.

This meal is best served with a glass of red wine to complement the sweetness of the scallops and potatoes. Garnish the plate with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for even more flavor.

Paleo paella with collard greens

This Paleo paella is gluten-free and filled with lots of vegetables and seafood. The Paleo diet gets a lot of flak for being boring, but this dish is anything but. It’s a flavourful and colorful paella made with collard greens as the base instead of rice.

The collard greens give this dish a different texture but add a healthy dose of iron and Vitamin A. This Paleo paella is made with clams, mussels, scallops, and a variety of fresh vegetables like zucchini, peppers, and onions. The rich seafood flavor is balanced by the freshness of the vegetables, while the acidity of the saffron tempers the slight bitterness of the collards.

Sweet and spicy chicken thighs with sweet potatoes

Sweet and spicy is a classic combination. This dish combines sweet and spicy chicken thighs with sweet potatoes for a flavorful meal. The chicken thighs are marinated in a blend of spices, including cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, chili powder, and garlic.

The sweet potatoes are roasted until they’re soft, caramelized, and then drizzled with coconut milk. The most excellent accompaniment to this dish is a side of greens or a green salad.

Coconut milk has a strong taste that can take over the entire meal if you aren’t careful. It goes well with the spices in the chicken, but it can overpower the taste of the sweet potatoes.

Twice-baked sweet potatoes with chèvre and herbs

Twice-baked sweet potatoes are a classic appetizer with a new twist. Sweet potatoes are hollowed out, stuffed with chèvre, herbs, and bacon, then baked until their soft and golden brown. The chèvre adds a creamy flavor and a buttery texture, while the bacon adds saltiness and smokiness.

Once the potatoes are baked, they’re garnished with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, and basil. These twice-baked sweet potatoes are best served as an appetizer before dinner or as a side dish at a dinner party.

They’re easy to make, so there’s no need to order or spend hours in the kitchen. Red wine pairs well with them, particularly juicy pinot noir or robust cabernet sauvignon.

Baked sweet potato chips

Sweet potato chips are a great alternative to regular potato chips. They’re baked, not fried, so they taste much healthier. Sweet potato chips have a different texture than regular potato chips. They’re more hearty but have the same salty, crunchy texture we love in regular potato chips.

This recipe uses sea salt and ground cumin to flavor the chips and a dollop of butter to give them a rich taste. They’re easy to make and perfect as a side dish or a snack. They also store well, so you can make a large batch and keep them around when you’re craving something salty and crunchy.

One-pan roasted chicken and sweet potatoes

This meal takes the word “easy” to a new level. It’s a one-pan roasted chicken and sweet potatoes. You don’t even have to turn on the oven. Just burn the sweet potatoes on the stovetop in a cast iron pan, and then roast the chicken on top of the potatoes.

The chicken and sweet potatoes are squeezed together in the pan, infusing each other’s flavor as they cook. This meal is perfect for a busy weeknight.

It doesn’t take long to cook, and there’s only one pan to clean when you’re done. It’s best served with a salad or a green vegetable like asparagus. This meal is rich and flavourful, so you don’t need anything too heavy on the side.
