Yields2 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time35 mins

Ingredients

 2 tbsp vegetable broth (unsalted, preferably homemade)
 2 cups white onion (cut into 1” pieces)
 10 medium garlic cloves (minced)
 1 inch fresh ginger (peeled, minced)
 2 cups parsnips (diced)
 2 cups carrots (diced)
 2 cups sweet potatoes (diced)
  cup organic apple juice
 6 tbsp organic tamari (low-sodium, or coconut aminos)
 2 tbsp maple syrup (or date paste, link in Chef’s Notes)
 2 tsp sesame seed oil (optional)
 2 dried chilis e.g., chilis de arbol (optional)
 2 cups basil leaves (chopped)

Directions

1

Heat a large stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable broth and onions. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.

2

Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

3

Add the parsnips, carrots, and sweet potatoes. Stir and cook them until they’re tender, about 7–9 minutes. Add water, 2–4 tablespoons at a time, if necessary, to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.

4

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the apple juice, tamari, maple syrup, sesame seed oil (if using), and dried chilis (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and is reduced by half, about 7–10 minutes.

5

Remove from the heat and stir in the basil.
