Brazilian Roasted Chicken And Vegetables Recipe

Paleo Brazilian recipes are few and far between, though according to taste tests of what is available, there should definitely be more!

A quick search brings up Brazilian curry, a low-carb shrimp stew, and a bowlful of Brazilian-style fish stew. Today, however, we are leaving the fish in the sea and baking up some Brazilian roasted chicken with sweet potatoes, bell peppers, and tomatoes instead.

Vegetables are just vegetables without spices, so make sure your spice rack is full!

Can't find Brazilian seasoning at the store? We've got you covered.

Here is how to make your own Brazilian seasoning at home: In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon white pepper, 1 teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon ground coriander and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Stir together and mix well. Go ahead and double or triple, or quadruple the recipe, and save it in a spare glass jar. Sprinkle it on grilled steak, baked chicken, hamburgers and sweet potato fries to experience amazing dinners.

This recipe involves several ingredients and more than an hour from start to finish, yet you will not be disappointed!

If you find that you have even more time on hand, why not try marinating the chicken in lemon and spices first? 3 hours in the fridge should be sufficient. In the meantime, treat yourself to ginger-turmeric orange juice to rejuvenate and restore your senses.
