For the vegetables

1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 lb parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 lb turnips, peeled and cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 garlic cloves, smashed
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme

For the braising liquid

2 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient note
Coconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 1 teaspoon per serving, which is likely fine.
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups beef bone broth
1 tbsp arrowroot starch
2 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the chuck roast completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the roast.
2
Heat the avocado oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the roast and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, until a deep mahogany crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pan. Sear the two narrow ends for 1–2 minutes each. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker insert.
