Paleo Roasted Vegetables Recipe

Sometimes the hardest part of planning a meal is figuring out what to serve on the side. This handy paleo roasted vegetables recipe goes great with a steak.

The ingredients are straightforward, familiar, and easy to get your hands on. I think that rosemary tends to be an underappreciated herb.

In-Depth on Rosemary

You’ve probably got it in your kitchen, and possibly in your garden. You pull it out for recipes as required, but do you know why it’s such a wonderful tool to have in your culinary kit?

Rosemary has a piney flavor that pairs well with many meats. It’s strong, earthy flavor means that you don’t have to use very much. In fact, if you go overboard it will overpower the dish.

If you’re working with fresh rosemary, (which I recommend) you can strip the leaves from the stem with your fingers. You’ll want to chop them up, as rosemary can be tough even after cooking.

Don’t throw out your leftover rosemary! You can use it to class up meat and chicken, add it to soups, or even make some rosemary-infused olive oil.

Rosemary is a good source of vitamin A, but realistically you’re not going to be eating enough to see any health benefits. Rosemary’s biggest asset is flavor!
