During my takeover of the Auto Immune Paleo Instagram account, a lot of you guys asked me create a recipe for a great AIP Thanksgiving side dish. And what better than a bowl of caramelized root vegetables to replace your traditional potato salad?!
Featuring delicious yam, golden beet and parsnip, this amazing side dish will be a big hit on your Thanksgiving table. Protocol or not, everybody will want to scoop some on the plate next to their turkey… and it’s much healthier than traditional side dishes too!
The secret to this dish lays in the seasoning and the cooking time. The sweetness of coconut aminos enhances the natural candy like flavor of these root vegetables that, when cooked for a long time, start releasing their sugary juice that caramelizes and creates the most delicious sauce!!
Sprinkle it with some fresh pomegranate arils to give it a beautiful, festive look and you’ll have the most impressive dish on the table.
Also, if you are going to somebody else’s house for Thanksgiving, preparing your own AIP side dish is your best bet to make sure your plate is absolutely compliant to the auto immune protocol and you won’t need to ask a million questions about how every dish was made!

This looks so good! I can’t have coconut though, would you recommend any substitutes for the aminos and milk? Maybe broth?
Hi Basmah! Glad you like the recipe!!
You can replace the coconut aminos with 1 tbsp of maple syrup diluted in 1 tbsp of water, and yes, definitely use broth instead of coconut milk!
Let me know how it goes!!

Hi Ambra, I’m a bit confused…the photo shows a squash but the recipe calls for golden beets.
Sorry about that Sherrie. The Delicata squash is just a decoration for the background, The recipe is made with the ingredients listed in the recipe card 😉
