| Chopped and ready to roast! Photo by Angela Tague |
Well, I certainly don't eat a pile of lettuce each day, and I'm a busy gal that puts in 50 or so hours a week at work, so I have to keep it simple. If I can do it, you can too!
When I want a hot, healthy side dish of vegetables I roast them.
Simply wash and chop the vegetables into bite-size chunks, toss them in a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet. I cook the vegetables in a hot 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 8-15 minutes until they're softened with crisp, golden edges.
Here's a few of my favorite vegetables to roast:
- carrots, onions & potatoes
- bell peppers, summer squash, cherry tomatoes & mushrooms
- broccoli & cauliflower
- kale
How do you like to prepare vegetables when you're in a hurry?

When I was a raw vegan-I'm not anymore-I found it pretty easy to convert. I just naturally like veggies, in the raw. Some people struggle so much with that though. I know a guy who only eats corn. That's it. The only veggie he'll touch.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of roasting kale, I'll have to try it.
Wow, i can't imagine only eating corn! I love veggies so much they make up at least 75% of my food each day. Yes, roasting kale is easy. They turn into crispy "chips" that make a great snack. Happy A-to-Z 2013! ~Angela, Whole Foods Living, http://www.wholefoodsliving.blogspot.com/
DeleteRoasted veggies are simply yummy! It's definitely easy to incorporate healthy eating habits into your daily meals. Will be stealing your idea for a squash, tomatoes and mushrooms combo for our dinner tonight - thanks!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Enjoy! ~Angela
