Sweet carrot fry up

This one was much tastier than I thought it would be! Pretty good for something I made up on the fly. 

SWEET CARROT FRY UP
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground sweet paprika (not hot or smoked)
1 medium sized clove garlic, finely chopped
1 very large carrot, peeled and diced 
1 stick celery with leaves, diced
2 medium white button mushrooms, trimmed and diced
1/4 C fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
Heaped tsp honey

1. Heat oil, paprika and garlic in a medium sized pan/skillet on high heat
2. Cook, stirring, until spice is fragrant and garlic is golden
3. Add vegetables and cook, stirring, for around 5 minutes. The carrot should still have a little bit of bite and the celery should still have some crunch 
4. Remove pan from heat and quickly stir coriander/cilantro through
5. Tip onto a plate and drizzle with honey

Enjoy ❤️

Salad with quick roasted potato

For anybody wondering if an airfryer is worth it, this recipe just might convince you! I actually mixed a good dollop of yoghurt through this but didn't include it in the photo in solidarity with those not able to tolerate dairy. As always, I ate this recipe salt free quite happily but adding a pinch to the potato when coating it in oil would definitely add incredible flavour.

SALAD WITH QUICK ROASTED POTATO
1 medium potato
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch salt
1/2 Lebanese cucumber*
1/2 small red capsicum/bell pepper
2 large iceberg lettuce leaves
 1/4 C fresh coriander/cilantro leaves

1. Peel potato and cut into bite sized pieces. Dry pieces well with paper towel
2. Place in small ovenproof dish and cover with olive oil (and salt if using)
3. Toss with a small spoon to coat
4. Cook in airfryer (or oven) for 15 minutes at 180°C/350°F
5. Meanwhile slice cucumber lengthwise and then lengthwise again (4 long pieces). Dice
6. Trim capsicum/bell pepper and dice
7. Shred lettuce and chop coriander/cilantro leaves roughly
8. Tip all salad ingredients onto a plate and toss together with your hands
9. When potato is cooked (test a piece and cook longer if required) add to salad and toss through
10. If tolerated, stir through some natural yoghurt

Enjoy ❤️

*I am not sure what Lebanese cucumbers are called in other countries! They are the long, thin variety

5 minute toasted oats

I have been craving muesli/granola but it has been ages since I have got around to making a batch. This morning my craving got the better of me and I created this super fast version that is ready in under 5 minutes. To say I am happy right now is an understatement. 

5 MINUTE TOASTED OATS
1/4 C rolled oats
1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp honey
1/8 C macadamias
Small handful blueberries

1. Tip oats, oil and honey into a small frying pan and cook, stirring on high heat until oil has melted
2. Add macadamias and continue to stir on high heat until oats are toasty and brown
3. Add fruit for the final minute, stirring all the while

Enjoy ❤️
