There are
dozens of ways to eat more vegetables like blending, juicing, sautéing, Juice Plusing,
eating them raw and more!
Vegetables
are nutrient dense giving you hundreds of thousands of phytonutrients that your
body recognizes as food and it uses the nutrients the right away
(bioavailable).
I challenge you to eat 5 different vegetables daily. Can you do it?
Eating more
vegetables daily may help you to eat less of the red light foods (empty, junk
calories with little to no nutritional value). More information on traffic
light eating can be found here.
The following
recipe is really simple because you can use any 5 or more vegetables of your
liking and look here – you've just hit your daily goal! Choose various colors. I
roasted: onions, carrots, asparagus, white eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and
potatoes.
1. Preheat
oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut the
five to seven colorful varieties of vegetables roughly the same size for even
roasting.
3. Toss the
vegetables with extra virgin olive oil (organic if possible), sea salt, and
rosemary (or your herb of choice; oregano or thyme works brilliantly here too) and
roast for 40 minutes.
4. At the
20 minute mark, toss them for even roasting. Don't overcook them; you want them
to be al dente (little firm on the outer edge and softer in the middle). The
vegetables should not be mushy.
5. Serve
with a clean protein of your choice, rice or quinoa, or eat them without any
sides – they can stand alone surely!
