Getting your five+ servings of vegetables daily? Here's an easy way to incorporate more into our daily food intake.
Roasted Vegetables: I am getting ready to roast these on a baking sheet (425° for 10-15 minutes) and then enjoy all week long. Before baking, I sprinkle these healthy morsels with Avocado Oil (it has a higher temperature point), REALSALT sea salt, pepper, garlic and turmeric. Roasted veggies are good mixed in with or as a topping for scrambled eggs, as a side dish and as my main course on Meatless Mondays (they freeze well if you have leftovers). Simply stated, veggies are not only full of flavor and color, they have numerous health benefits:
Fiber - feel fuller faster, digest more slowly thus stabilizing your blood sugar level
Nutrient dense - they pack a lot of nutrition into even just a 1/2 C. serving (but why stop there)? They contain a wide variety of vitamins and minerals and healthy building substances called phytonutrients.
Hmmm...mom and dad were right..."eat your vegetables".
Be kind to yourself and others and EAT HEALTHY!
