Healthy Recipe with Sauerkraut: Wellness Bowl
This healthy recipe with sauerkraut comes to us from a How Wild Do You Like It recipe contest winner Alise Porter. She invented this main dish to help heal her family from a steadfast virus, and they loved it. We love it too. It looks like a lot of steps but it basically only uses one sheet pan for cooking. We especially enjoyed the earthy, flavorful spice mix, which could be used on pretty much anything you want, from mushrooms to meats. The creative mixture of veggies seemingly fills all your daily requirements of nutrients plus offers the delicious, gut-healthy addition of probiotics. While Alise used our Arame & Ginger Sauerkraut, you can substitute any of our other varieties. But let us know what creative additions you choose in the comments.

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Make dressing: Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, 1/4 tsp. spice mix. Set aside.
4. Drain, rinse and dry chickpeas and spread on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cook for 20 minutes, then toss with 1/2 Tbsp. oil and 1 tsp. of spice combo, then bake

We really loved this. Very high in calories so I modified the recipe by reducing the oil when roasting everything and also reduced the amount of cashews to keep the servings under 350 each.
The wild Bunch
Great idea! Thanks Pam.

This recipe was my inspiration to eat sauerkraut and it did not disappoint! I didn’t have beets or Brussels on hand so I went without and I almost skipped the cashews…Thank goodness I didn’t because they are a magical addition. Every bite of this wellness bowl is exquisite.

Glad you enjoyed it Jessica!
