I am looking for vegetable recipes that don't involve 20-gazillion specialized ingredients, and are easy to make. No squash, please - I can't eat it.

    1, large portobella or other flat mushroom!
    1 teaspoon tomato puree
    1/4 white onion/ finally chopped,
    1/4 red onion finally chopped
    low fat reduced salt mozarella (chunked or grated) 100 grams,

    turn grill on, place puree and cheese on mushroom, place onion on mushroom, grill for Ten minutes on medium grill.. walla.. healthy pizza option

    obviously you can get creative with the toppings, add peppers, chillies, tomatoes, .. what ever you fancy

    Now that sounds really tasty! I love mushrooms - but don't tend to think of them as a veggie.

    Query: could you mix the cauliflower with other veggies (carrot chunks, broccoluses) for taste / texture variety?

    You can but the cauliflower gets a really nice nutty flavor especially with the parm added since it is a mellow taste to start with, and I love the garlic cloves when they are roasted like that.

    When I roast other veggies like carrots and broccoli I tend to do them a little different, mostly the same but I use MRS Dash spicy and the contrast of the spice and sweetness of the carrots is really good.

    Chop the vegetable into small pieces (if necessary) and put in bowl. Coat with evoo (or oil of your choice). Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice (for most I like black pepper, garlic powder and ceyenne). Toss to coat with spices. Roast in hot over (375-400 F) until browned but not mushy.

    This works for most non-leafy vegetables (including squash). It also works well outside on a grill.

    Root vegetables - chop into chunks and roast with lean pork or beef and onions.

    White vegetables - cauliflower, parsnips, turnips - prepare just as you would mashed potatoes. Mix altogether if desired.

    Roasted cauliflower is awesome. I usually just spray with olive oil and add salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. I also second the roasted veggies. pretty much any veg can be roasted. I like making big batches and adding it to my salads and sandwiches.
