These Fall Cleanse Recipes are companion recipes to Seizing the Season: DIY Fall Cleanse 3 Day Plan.

Roasted Veggies with Tahini Sauce

Mix 5 cups of root veggies, chopped uniformly (any combo of beets, turnips, rutabaga, fennel, carrots, parsnips) with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and a big handful of chopped parsley.  Toss veggies with coconut oil and spread out onto a baking sheet; Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until slightly browned. Season with salt and pepper; top with parsley.  Pair with Avocado Bliss soup (recipe below).

Tahini Sauce

1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp wheat free tamari
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4-1/2 cup water

Whisk or blend all ingredients together. Add more water until desired consistency is reached.
