Easy Roasted Zucchini
Our Easy Roasted Zucchini recipe is as simple as it gets! This clean eating side dish recipe is quick and easy to prepare, and tastes delicious. The roasting process lightly browns the edges, and allows the zucchini to retain its fresh flavor. For an extra burst of freshness and saltiness, the zucchini is finished with a sprinkling of fresh lemon zest and a light dusting of sea salt flakes. Roasted in minutes, this 5-ingredient recipe is the perfect side dish for a quick weekday meal, or even when you are entertaining.
Sautéed Kale
Our Sautéed Kale is quick, healthy, and delicious! This kale side dish pairs so well with everything from grilled or roasted chicken, fish, shellfish, or tofu. It has a garlicky flavor without being overpowering, and a subtly spicy flavor for those that like a bit of a kick in their veggies. Prepped and sautéed in less than 15 minutes, this side dish is a great addition to any weeknight meal. Simple ingredients make this veggie recipe so tasty, plus it is keto, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan!

The fresh flavor in this clean eating recipe for cold summer soup will leave you energized and loving gazpacho again.
