Recipe for Roasted Green Beans and Red Bell Pepper with Garlic and Ginger

Beautiful roasted green beans and red bell pepper for Thanksgiving or Christmas!

(For Phase One Fridays I feature Phase One Recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and these Roasted Green Beans and Red Bell Pepper with Garlic and Ginger are not only beautifully red and green for the holidays, but they're delicious!)

I came up with this recipe as an idea for my collection of Low-Glycemic Thanksgiving Recipes, but these green beans are so festive and colorful that they'd be perfect for anyone who's looking for a holiday side dish for Christmas dinner as well.  The beans and peppers roast at high heat for a short time, so they can cook while you're coming up with the final touches on the meal.

CARROT NOODLES WITH GINGER LIME PEANUT SAUCE


Raw Carrot Pasta with Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Serves 4 to 6 people
Ingredients
    For the Carrot Pasta:
  • 5 large carrots, peeled and spiraled into noodles
  • 1/3 cup roasted cashews
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • For the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
    To Prepare the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix together until smooth and creamy.
  2. To Prepare the Carrot Pasta:
  3. Wash carrots well, peel them, and pat them dry.
  4. Using your spiral slicer, make noodles out of all of the carrots. It will be more difficult to make the noodles once there is only a few inches of carrot left, so you can grate what’s left of the carrot.
  5. Place all carrot noodles into a large serving bowl. Pour the Ginger-Lime Peanut Sauce over the noodles and gently toss together (I use my hands for this part).
  6. Serve with roasted cashews (or peanuts) and freshly chopped cilantro.
Notes
If you dont have a spiral slicer, you can simply grate the carrots with a box grater to make this recipe. :D
