I think I'm going to die of boredom...sick of onions, peppers, mushrooms and zucchini

I probably just need to get creative, but don't seem to have it in me. What's been your favourite veggie or veggie dish this week, and how did you prepare it?

    I just love turnip fries.

    Cut and peel the turnip - cut in long thin strips and place on baking sheet with salt, pepper, garlic and a drizzle of olive oil.
    Bake in the oven on 400 until tender, same tenderness as fries baked in the oven.

    So delish and I don't even like cooked turnip.

    Good luck

    You never realize how good turnip tastes until 3-6 months away from potatoes...

    I totally agree with Seakale's recipe!

    My favorite though, is the kale recipe, but with brocoli. Man, o man! I used to hate that stuff, now I coud eat it every day. It gets nice and krispy if you cook it right.

    - bunch of broccoli
    - grapeseed oil or olive oil
    - salt/ season salt
    - one or two garlic bulbs, freshly pressed

    Clean broccoli. Dry VERY well.
    Toss everything in a bowl. Preheat oven at 350-370
    Line a cookie sheet with aluminium, add broccoli to sheet and put in oven for 30-50 minutes.

    When i'm in a hurry add put the rack very high and up the heat a bit.

    Also! Zuccini "noodles". I got myself a spiralizer and I can make fun zuccini noodles that you can have raw, in salads, or you can toss in a pan with some oil and herbs.

    Very fun and tastier somehow, hahah.

    I'm a giant fan of roasting my veggies. I roast everything with olive oil, salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder. If I have it, I'll use garlic-infused olive oil but I'm out right now. :-(

    For St. Patrick's Day, along with the corned beef (which was a sodium bomb I paid for for three days after but it was worth it) I made cabbage this way:

    Quarter the cabbage and remove the pit at the bottom
    Heat olive (or grapeseed) oil in a large, flat frying pan, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and pepper
    Place the cabbage wedges in the pan, pressing down with a spatula or spoon to sear the surface really well - a couple of minutes on each side - however long it takes to get the amount of browning you want
    Transfer wedges to a baking rack placed on a baking sheet or pan, something with edges, and put in a 350* oven
    Before closing the oven, pour about half a Guiness into the baking pan and bake for 20 minutes.

    The guiness just steams some of the beer flavor up into the cabbage without actually adding the carbs/calories of drinking the beer, since it never actually touches the cabbage. The flavor gets all smoky and awesome.
