Looking for Yummy recipes with lots of veggies.
Options
Hi- I've been on mfp for a while now but have never used the message board. Thought I would give it a try to see what people can recommend for recipes with lots of veggies. I'm bored with just eating plain vegetables and would like some inspiration. Thanks in advance!

I love veggies roasted... just toss whatever fresh veggies you like with a little olive oil.
Spread them on a baking sheet, season with onion salt, Mrs. Dash, whatever seasonings you like.
Bake them in a preheated oven - 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
Take them out, flip them over and put back in until they are roasted and done, 10 more minutes or so.
These are even good leftover, in a sandwich thin with cheese, or on a tossed salad, or with pasta!0 -
I tried this stuff called Texas Caviar (nothing to do with Fish) it has corn, black eye peas, black beans, all color bell peppers, onion, tomatos, jalapenos (optional) zesty italian dressing serve with tostito scoops. you can find this recipe in all recipes.com its colorful tastey and veggie.
i'm sure you can doctor it however youd like.

Ratatouille. Serve with quinoa/cous cous/whatever or bake with polenta on top and serve with salad.
Vegetable fajitas. Mange tout, baby corn, peppers, onions, courgette plus lovely lovely spices. Add salad, salsa and a bit of low fat cheese/sour cream.0 -
Spinach goes wonderfully with poached egg for a veggie addition to breakfast. Ditto for asparagus instead of toast with boiled egg.0
-
Chestnuts are wonderful with brussel sprouts or cabbage for a bit of a different flavour. Chestnuts can really add a lovely new dimension to good veggie stir fries too.0

a lot of people suggest a veggie lasagne using egg plant or zucchini instead of pasta...0

What do you consider Plain ol' veggies? I sautee frozen pole beans in a little coconut oil with garlic powder, salt and pepper then add Chili paste and a little low sodium chicken broth and let them steam in that covered for a few minutes then remove the lid and let it reduce. It works with all kind of veggies. I do chipolte zuchinni and tomatoes which are yummy..just get creative !!!0

Squash/pumpkin and ricotta cannelloni. Roast the squash with a little olive oil, some garlic and a load pepper. Mix with ricotta and stuff pasta with it. Top with a low fat bechemel or bechemel replacement (I like to use low fat cream cheese or quark loosened with a bit of water).0

Had this last night and it was very good! This is for one serving:
Tortellini with veggies
9 fresh cheese tortellini (about 2 oz.)
frozen broccoli (however much you want)
sugar snap peas (however much you want)
asparagus pieces (however much you want)
Tomato - 1 med chopped
garlic - 2 cloves minced
green onion - 2 sliced (white and green part)
Shredded cheese (parmesan, asiago, whatever kind you like) 1-2 Tbsp
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
salt/pepper to taste
Boil tortellini for 5 minutes. Add frozen and fresh veggies that need to be steamed (broccoli, peas, asparagus) to tortellini and cook 2-3 minutes longer.
In serving bowl, mix tomato, garlic, onion.
Drain tortellini and veggies and add to tomato mix. Add cheese, drizzle with olive oil, salt, & pepper. Mix well. Serve
Heat of tortellini and veggies will soften up tomato and melt cheese and you end up with a tomato/olive oil "sauce". It was very tasty and very easy to make. I show that the recipe was in a Cooking Light magazine a while back.0 -

Stir fry is always good. I usually put in peppers, onions, broccoli, zucchini, sometimes carrots too, rice and chicken. I made a homemade gluten free teriyaki sauce or dressing/sauce you choose. My husband and I usually eat this about 2 times a week.0

@hey_paula: seeing your avatar picture (Paula Deen) made me read your entire post in Paula Deen's voice. Even when I tried to stop I couldn't. LOL.I love veggies roasted... just toss whatever fresh veggies you like with a little olive oil.

I like using those whole-wheat sandwich thins (even one half) and spreading hummus on the bread. I top the hummus with good veggies, and shredded mozzarella. Heat it up to melt the cheese:)0
