    It's so hard to pick just one! I think beets - roasted beets! I love them!

    But ANY other veggie roasted is tops in my book too. I can't think of one I don't like!!!

    I love green beans! I typically either steam them in the microwave or roast them. Then I love to spritz them with some spray butter and whatever spice I feel like sprinkling on (my favorite is Garlic & Wine seasoning).

    Tomato's fresh from the garden. If they are out of season I would say brussels sprouts or broccoli, yet i never really have time to cook them very often. I mostly use a slow cooker these days because of time management.

    I think the best way to make brussels sprouts is to put in a skillet, when frozen, add a little of water and olive oil. Cook the water out and brown them a little bit and season to taste, i use salt and pepper.

    tomatoes. NO question.
    IN SUMMER:
    * raw in summer fresh from the garden
    * roasted and grilled

    IN A SEASON WHERE I CAN'T GET THEM LOCAL AND FRESH:
    * sundried and crushed as a salad topping
    * drunk as tomato juice both cold and warm (with a bit of hot sauce)
    *canned and added to soups, stews, casseroles
    * made into pizza or enchilada sauce and added to eggs, chicken, beef, pork, other veggies, you name it.

    And sometimes, when I'm at home alone, a can dumped in a bowl with a cup of frozen spinach and a cup of water, and eaten as spinach & tomato soup. Just like that. Maybe some cayenne pepper. Or not.

    brussel sprouts! i cut them in half and put them face down in some oil and garlic then once they're brown then i pour about 1/2c water in and let them steam the rest of the way through til the water is gone.

    Grape tomatoes - they are like candy for me! I love them raw and roasted. This time of year, I also can't get enough brussels sprouts roasted in a little bit of olive oil with garlic cloves (425 degrees for 50 minutes).

    This time of year I make what I call "Orange Roast". I take a couple carrots thickly sliced on the diagonal, a small yam peeled and cut in large dice, and some butternut squash again cut in large dice. Toss them all with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with dried basil. Roast in the oven on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees until tender. (The non stick aluminum foil is a great asset.) Yum!

    steamed or grilled asparagus with balsamic when in season, otherwise I thaw frozen edamame and roast it in the oven and lightly salt it, a good snack!

    Turnip greens!! Yum! Tossed with a tiny bit of bacon (like a whole bunch of turnip greens with one strip so it's super low calories) and some salt, pepper and diced onions! So delicious!
    Ooh, and I really love kale too, in soups!
