After a fairly crazy weekend of birthday and Australia Day celebrations I found my nutrition levels to be fairly lacking. During the week I like to chill out and restore my body to a more healthy state and in addition to my daily seed-based breakfasts and salads for lunch I try to avoid heavy carbohydrate-based meals in the evening. This is one of this weeks detox meals full of vitamins but also flavour and different textures. Feel free to change up the vegetables with your favourites.
Ingredients
broccoli, separated from head
mushrooms, halved
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2tsp hot chilli paste
1/4 light soy sauce
1tbsp honey
Preheat oven to 180°. Prepare baking dish with baking paper.
In a medium mixing bowl mix garlic, chilli, soy sauce and honey together vigorously. Set aside.
Bring a small to medium pot of water to the boil. Place broccoli and mushrooms in boiling water momentarily; until the green becomes much brighter. This process is called blanching and normally happens in under a minute. You wouldn't normally do this to mushrooms but I find it gently breaks through the skin which allows the marinade to soak through better.
Drain vegetables and add to marinade. Toss throughly and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Move vegetables from marinade into prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
If you have any healthy fulfilling snacks, feel free to recommend them in the comments.
