Roasting vegetables
Well, I'm now convinced that roasting vegetables is the way to eat
vegetables. Plus, it's simple. Heat the oven to 400 (or so), take your vegetable of choice and put some oil, salt, and pepper on, and then roast until done. I did some green beans with this recipe, but I threw in some sliced garlic cloves. Yum! -- Bob in CT |

I have long encouraged folks to cook veggies all sorts of ways. Steam, stir fry, raw, deep fry, stew, bake, pickle.

It's certainly traditional to bake/roast root veggies. Thanks for the training that it works well with low carb veggies. |

In small quantities, I particular enjoy rost carrots and roast pasnips. They taste so sweet I had to check and recheck the carb content. -- Rich http://www.richdavies.com/low-carb-diet.htm -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Frozen veggies work great in the microwave too and many have special sauces with them now (like Green Giant frozen bags with sauce). Also, you can bake a potato in about 10 minutes in the microwave. They shrivel a little, but the taste is the same with less time to cook, no need for foil and a huge savings in energy bills. (Works for turnips, sweet potatoes and yams and possibly for parsnips as well). |

I did some green beans with this recipe, but I threw in some sliced garlic cloves. Yum! Works even better with asparagus. Salt, pepper, olive oil and maybe some lemon juice. Roasting condenses flavor. much better than boiling/steaming flavor away. If you want to go really nuts, grill this stuff (hint: toothpicks + greenbeans /asparagus = rafts, very easy to turn on the grill). |

I heap it with zucchinni, summer squash, bell pepper, mushrooms, little tomatoes (added later), onion, asparagus, and any other LC veggies I have on hand. Drizzle with evoo, salt, garlic powder, and put on the grill till all are beginning to brown. Have a nice serving with supper, and save the leftovers for our morning omelet. |
