Roasted Veggie Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

Stir fry is one of my favorite dishes because it is so diverse. You can combine almost any mix of vegetables with noodles and sauce to make it taste delicious. It’s a way to please even the pickiest of eaters because it can be served mixed or buffet style. With easy prep and lots of leftovers, this recipe is a win all around. I love how one stir fry is not ever the same as the last. Check out one of my favorite recipes that I created using ingredients that I have in my pantry to create this one of a kind masterpiece.

For the Veggie Stir Fry:

• 3-4 carrots, sliced thin

• 1/2 white onion, sliced thin

• 1/2 green cabbage, sliced thin

• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

• 1 can bean sprouts, rinsed well

• Or use 2-3 cups of any vegetables on hand

• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1 package noodles of choice (I'm using glass sweet potato noodles, but any thin noodle will work)

• Sesame seeds (for topping)

For the Peanut Sauce:

• 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1/4 cup liquid aminos or GF Tamari

• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce (omit if GF)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 6-8 Tbsp water divided

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2) Cut all veggies and place them onto a foiled sheet pan.

3) Put olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper on veggies. Stir to coat everything evenly.

4) Put the tray in the oven for 25 minutes or until they become light brown on the edges. Check at 5-minute intervals after that and stir to ensure the veggies cook evenly.

5) Combine ingredients for the peanut sauce in a separate bowl. Add water at 2 tbsp intervals and stir to reach desired consistency.

6) Cook noodles according to directions on the bag. Once done, place the noodles in ice, cold water to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

7) Once the veggies are done, combine noodles with veggies in a wok pan or large skillet for 5 minutes or until everything is cooked through.

8) Add the desired amount of sauce and enjoy. Top with sesame seeds. Feel free to add Tofu, egg, or cooked lean animal protein for an extra calorie boost for a fantastic post-workout meal. I added cooked shrimp in the picture below.
