    • Total Time: 60 mins
    • Yield: 6 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 head purple cauliflower, cut into florets
    • 5 cups purple potatoes (variety of sweet and regular), cut into 1-inch pieces
    • Coconut oil or canola oil spray
    • Salt & pepper
    • 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 fennel bulb, chopped
    • 6 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 large purple or orange carrots, peeled and chopped
    • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
    • Salt & pepper
    • Sour cream or crème fraiche

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the cauliflower and potatoes on a large baking sheet. Spray with coconut oil spray and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat. Roast in oven for 30 minutes, tossing half way through, until slightly caramelized. Remove from oven.
    2. Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a heavy dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add in fennel and carrots and sauté until tender.
    3. Stir in the broth and the roasted cauliflower and potatoes. Bring to a boil, and lower to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes until veggies are fork-tender. Remove from stove.
