Rainbow Bowl with Baked Root Vegetables (Dairy & Gluten-Free)

This rainbow bowl is a nutrient-dense meal designed to support gut health. It is rich in color, fiber, and antioxidants. Each ingredient serves a purpose. This bowl is ideal for those navigating leaky gut, Candida, or SIBO.

This recipe also includes ImmuneIG for added gut support. It helps maintain a healthy immune response in the gut and supports the body’s natural defense system. When combined with whole, AIP-compliant foods, it creates a balanced and satisfying meal.

Baked Root Vegetables

The base of this bowl is made with baked root vegetables. These include sweet potato, carrots, beets, and radishes. Each one offers unique benefits.

Sweet potatoes provide complex carbohydrates and beta carotene. They support steady energy and immune health. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which supports the gut lining and immune function. Beets contain antioxidants that support detox pathways and circulation. Radishes help support digestion and liver function.

These vegetables roast well, adding natural sweetness and depth to the dish. Turmeric supports a healthy inflammatory response and enhances flavor.

If you are managing SIBO, it is important to monitor your portion of beets. They contain natural sugars and fermentable fibers that may trigger symptoms in some individuals. Start with a smaller amount and assess tolerance.

Carrot Ginger Dressing

This carrot ginger dressing ties the bowl together. It is creamy, bright, and dairy-free. It uses whole ingredients that support digestion and immune health.

Carrots add natural sweetness and beta carotene. Fresh ginger supports digestion and helps calm the gut. Apple cider vinegar promotes healthy stomach acid levels, especially for those with SIBO. Coconut aminos add a savory depth without gluten or soy.

Avocado oil provides healthy fats that support nutrient absorption. These fats also help you feel satisfied after your meal. 

This dressing is smooth and easy to blend, complementing the roasted vegetables and greens without overpowering them. It also stores well, so you can prepare it in advance.

Benefits of ImmunoLin®

This recipe features ImmuneIG, which contains ImmunoLin®. This ingredient is a bovine immunoglobulin derived from serum. It works within the gut to bind unwanted compounds and support a balanced immune response.

A healthy gut barrier is essential for overall wellness. ImmunoLin® helps maintain that barrier, supporting digestion and promoting microbial balance. This makes it a valuable addition if you are addressing gut health concerns.

In this recipe, ImmuneIG blends into the carrot ginger dressing without altering the flavor. It integrates easily into your daily routine through simple meals such as this rainbow bowl.

How to Make Rainbow Bowl

Making this rainbow bowl requires some baking time, but it is relatively simple to put together within 45 minutes. 

• Start by preheating your oven to 400 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the sliced sweet potato, carrots, beets, and radishes on one sheet. Drizzle with one tablespoon of avocado oil. Add turmeric and a pinch of sea salt. Toss well to coat. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until tender.

• On a second sheet, add the chopped broccolini and collard greens or kale. Toss with the remaining oil and salt. Add this tray to the oven during the last 10 minutes of cooking. This keeps the greens vibrant and lightly crisp.
• While the vegetables cook, prepare the carrot ginger dressing. Add grated carrots, ImmuneIG, avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with a small amount of water if needed.

• Once the vegetables are done, assemble your bowl. Arrange the roasted vegetables and greens on a plate. Add sliced avocado if desired. Top with your preferred protein, such as wild-caught salmon or organic chicken.

• Drizzle generously with dressing. Finish with fresh parsley.
