Low carb vegetable cheesy bake with crispy baby parsnips

Hi everyone, here's what I made for my evening meal tonight, its locally grown vegetables cooked in a cheese sauce, cauliflower mushrooms and baby tomatoes with crispy baby parsnips which I really like.

It is interesting as Matt posted about saturated fats and I used whole milk (goats) butter and strong cheddar cheese as they are all saturated fats but still natural wholesome foods in my world, there is also a lot of interest in low carb meals and I love meals like this, it is also gluten free and vegetarian. 😊

Wow! Your meal looks great and it's nice to know that it is low carb/gluten free. How long did it take to do?

Hey thanks Leah, it took just under 1/2 hour from cupboard to plate, I used gram flour to thicken the roux as well so its grain free. 😊

Thank you for letting me know. I think we might have that flour here at the house. If not, I will have to find some time to go get some!😀👍

Thank you Zest if you love parsnips then baby ones are even better especially cooked like this. 😊

[Zest in reply to Hidden]

Thanks, I shall have to try them. I don't think I've ever tried the 'baby parsnips' - you have cooked them to perfection - they look great!

Ooh Jerry I’m glad you enjoyed your meal and I had forgotten about parsnips and yours look perfect so it’s made me look forward to a winter roast 😋

[Hidden in reply to Agoodenough]

Hey thanks Ali, I love roasts and roast parsnips and these are small so I gently cooked them in a marble coated pan as you use very little oil and cook gently on a low heat, I've bought some more I liked them so much. 😁

[Agoodenough in reply to Hidden]

Sounds great. Oh I hadn’t realised what those marble pans were. I thought it was just Teflon with a different finish but I’ve just looked it up and now I know 🙄

So do you find that pan good?

[Hidden in reply to Agoodenough]

I'm very impressed and I usually buy stainless but saw these, it's best to use a low heat, which's a great way of cooking things. 😊

[Hidden]

It has a lot if saturated fat in it?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes Hidden I eat whole foods which includes some saturated fat. I also posted this on DRWF for their new recipe section so I purposely made an LCHF meal as there's a lot of interest in that and I'm honest about what I eat and see as healthy.

I'm a coeliac and normally eat carbs as I am lean and fit and my cholesterol levels are really good and my BMI is 20.

So yup I eat natural saturated fats. 😊

[Hidden]

Well as long as you don't eat to many of them I'm sure you will be OK 👍
