Ingredients
2 1/2 cups baby carrots, thinly sliced
1/2 medium onion, chopped or sliced
3 large cloves garlic, pressed
2 rounds fresh ginger, pressed or finely minced
Sea salt, to taste
Coconut oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan)
4 cups broccoli florets (large pieces halved)
2 cans water chestnuts, drained
3–4 tablespoons coconut aminos
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
10 oz white button mushrooms, halved or sliced into thirds
10 oz Baby Bella (cremini) mushrooms, halved or sliced into thirds
4 oz shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
Instructions
- Heat coconut oil over low to medium heat in a large sauté pan.
- Add carrots, onion, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until carrots begin to soften and onions are translucent.
- Add broccoli florets, water chestnuts, coconut aminos, tapioca flour, and another pinch of sea salt. Stir quickly to evenly coat ingredients. Sauté for 5–8 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add all mushrooms and cook for 10–12 minutes until tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional coconut aminos, sea salt, or ginger and garlic. Serve immediately.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 1–2 days.
Notes
- Use a large sauté pan to prevent overcrowding and allow even cooking.
- Slice carrots and broccoli to uniform sizes for consistent tenderness.
- Avoid overcooking mushrooms—they should be fork-tender but not mushy.
- Add coconut oil during cooking if vegetables begin to dry out.
- Stir tapioca flour immediately after adding to prevent clumps.
- Optionally, cover the pan briefly to help steam larger pieces without overcooking smaller vegetables.
