Roasting any kind of vegetable brings out the naturally sweet flavors hiding just under the surface, and here the combination of cauliflower and sweet potato gives you a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, topped off with a little paprika for color and roasted garlic for an extra flavor boost.
If you make this with vegetable stock, it's completely vegan, and even though it tastes really creamy, it’s also dairy-free (your choice of coconut or almond milk). Leave out the paprika and choose coconut milk instead of almond, and it’s also AIP-friendly.
This would go very well with any variety of roasted-chicken-as-comfort-food, or as something a little more solid to go with a light fish.
You could also modify it a little to go with whatever protein you’re serving (for example, adding ginger if the rest of the menu has Asian spices, or curry powder if you’re going in a more Indian direction). Why not try it a couple ways and see how you like it best?
