Whole 30 Ginger Broth Bowl

January 30, 2020

 

In the midst of a winter as cold as this one, only something as hearty as this low carb Whole 30 bowl has the power to warm you up from the inside out. This recipe takes advantage of organic root vegetables like bright beets and carrots in peak season, allowing them to develop layers of flavor through roasting them and serving them in a hot, flavorful broth, topping it all off with a luscious jammy egg. Making room for greens in this dish means checking off all of the boxes from healthy (check!) to satisfying (check again!) and perfect for the winter season (double check!).
