    Tonight I intend to roast butternut squash on the barbecue, I will lightly coat with olive oil, and dust with smoked paprika.

    10g of butter is only 70 cals and goes a long way if you melt it in the pan and then toss the veggies in it. I usually just do 10-15g butter, garlic powder salt and pepper. On occasion I'll also add parmesan and maybe less butter or use I can't believe it's not butter light to offset some cals

    I have about 20 different random seasonings at home (like steak, veggie, Cajun, Korean BBQ, lemon pepper, and random other ones) and I sprinkle whatever sounds good that day. Some of them are wonderful (like the steak one) and some aren't the greatest on specific veggies. But it's whatever you think sounds good.

    Roasting your veggies, yes, the asparagus and even stuff like bok choy, with just a touch of good quality "no stick spray" brings out the flavor and sweetness. Afterwards, maybe a dash of sea salt [comes in flavors!] or a drop of sesame oil? Do NOT use the dollar store spray because it sticks to your pans. :o Pot scrubbing is not on the list of MFP exercises.

    Adobo, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, parsley, whatever I'm in the mood for. Curry powder, hot sauce. I eat loads of vegetables, raw and cooked, so many combinations to satisfy different cravings. Have fun, experiment, find what you like!

    Butter, cheese sauce, ranch, and tabasco. My vegetable consumption is roughly on par with that of a 7 year old. Pretty sure that's why they make multi-vitamins!
