I am not a huge fan of vegetables. I have been trying to get my 5 servings of fruts and veggies in per day and needed to try some new things to achieve that............now I am not a big fan of broccoli but I am sharing this recipe because it was DELICOUS!

cut up broccoli
cut up cauliflower
1 T olive oil
1T parm cheese
sea salt
pepper

roast in oven about 30 mins.

Wow, I LOVED IT! I imagine you could do other veggies too. It just had such a different flavor than just opening a bag of frozen and cooking in the microwave! I found a way I like broccoli-hope this helps somebody else!

    This is my favorite way to prepare veggies. Soooo much better than out of a can or boiled/steamed from frozen. I've become obsessed with brussels sprouts prepared in this way. Cut off the tips and slice them in half the long way and prepare them the same way. You'll never think of brussels sprouts in the same way again.

    Edit to add that I usually roast at about 400 degrees. The amount of time needed depends upon the vegetable you are preparing.

    I love to roast veggies this way. Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are my favorites. I've not been roasting them much lately because the olive oil you use on them does add up the calories fast, but I love love love to eat them this way. Green beans are also great this way, don't forget to try them too!

    I usually roast mine at 425, and start to check after 20 minutes or so. Depends on how toasted up you like yours for the exact time.

    You know, though, I started out using a lot more olive oil and then I have been reducing it more and more. Now I use only 2 teaspoons for about 3-4 servings of brussels sprouts. You really don't need a lot--just toss everything really well with your hands so all the veggies get a slight coating. I typically add 1 tsp of olive oil to my meals to account for the oil I use in cooking my veggies and my meat, but I don't know that it is even that much in reality.

    sounds good. I have been doing a lot of stir fry, but I will have to give roasting a try.
