AIP Friendly Cilantro-Lime Roasted Broccoli Bites

Roasted at a high heat until the edges go deeply golden and a little crispy, these broccoli bites are the kind of vegetable dish that disappears fast. Coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, and fresh garlic create a warm, aromatic coating that caramelizes beautifully in the oven, while a finishing hit of lime juice and fresh cilantro keeps everything bright and lively. The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes and serves four, making it an easy weeknight side that feels anything but boring. Following the autoimmune protocol means navigating a surprisingly long list of off-limits ingredients — nightshades, grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, and most conventional seasonings — which can make even a simple roasted vegetable feel complicated. This recipe sidesteps all of that naturally, leaning on coconut oil instead of butter and using only AIP-compliant spices like turmeric and ginger for depth. The optional splash of coconut aminos adds a subtle savory note without any soy or gluten in sight. Every ingredient earns its place, and nothing here requires a specialty store run or a long label-reading session.
