Roasted Baby Squash and Carrots

You are going to need energy on paleo. How do we get it?  "So we should eat a lot of carbs, right? Uh, no. As you will see we are better served if we can encourage most of the body to run on fat and just provide enough carbohydrate to meet the needs of these truely glucose-dependent tissues.  By reducing the body's total need for carbohydrate, we actually protect ourselves from Blood Sugar Crashes."  Excerpt from Robb Wolf's The Paleo Solution.  Buy it and read it.


Ingredients: preheat oven to broil. Serves 2 or maybe even 1 if you're hungry
The Paleo Diet Cookbook

1Tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove minced
1/2 zucchini cut 1/4 inch
baby carrots (handful sliced in half long ways. Some I cut in 4s long ways)
sprinkle dill across - aprox. 1/2 tsp. (recipe called for fresh, I used dry)
sprinkle thyme - 1/2 tsp.

preheat oven to broil. In a baking dish add the oil and garlic (I used a baking sheet with foil on it).  Add the veggies and mix in the herbs. I used my hands to toss.  Broil for 10 minutes.  (just in case you didn't know, broil is only using the top burner in the oven, and it gets pretty hot.  Sometimes you'll broil bread and butter so the top is crispy and the bottom is soft. dont eat bread.)  keep it in for 10 minutes. stir. and keep them in for another minute or so.
