Roasted Vegetables



Recommended Posts

I love roasted vegetables. They are especially good in the fall and winter months.

They are pretty tasty with just salt, pepper, and olive oil, but here is an article with some other variations.

I had roasted asparagus with my steak last night. I added a tiny bit of freshly grated parmesan. My favorites are brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and onions.

I roasted asparagus with EVOO, onion powder, white pepper, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Yummy.

I like the seasoned salt or garlic salt rather than plain salt/sea salt.

I LOVE roasted veggies too! I usually keep it simple and use plain EVOO and perhaps a little salt. That was pre-surgery actually. So far I can't eat enough veggies to make roasting worth it and still get in all my Protein. What's the point of roasting one stalk of asparagus? When I can take in more veggies, I'll have to mix it up after clicking your link. You keep rocking with your roasted veggies! ;)

I'm very random. It depends on what's in the fridge. It's mostly whatever veg I have and a little EVOO. Herbs and spices vary. I tend to add garlic at the last minute because I hate the taste of burnt garlic. If it's dried herbs and powdered spices the I wait until the veg are done and lightly toss them in a bowl right out the oven.

I like to use them either as a side dish or as a salad with a little balsamic vinegar.

I LOVE roasted Brussel sprouts with dried cranberries & smoked tempeh (my sister uses bacon). I serve them with a sunny side up egg and a little grated Parmesan.

I love peppers, onions, eggplant, carrots, butternut squash, yellow squash and zucchini. I do variations of those combinations. I use EVOO, Balsamic vinegar, Kosher Salt, Cracked Pepper and some Rosemary. I love roasted veggies.

LOVE LOVE roasted veggies! I'm lucky I can do a lot for the family and just eat my small serving. Not sure I would bother if it was just for me.

I subscribe to a harvest basket weekly so it's whatever they deliver and encourages me to try new ones!

I typically toss them in olive oil and sprinkle a seasoning mix-- trader joes everyday seasoning is a favorite and Mrs dash has some good ones. I often throw in whole garlic cloves and or shallots.

Roast at 375 till veggies are golden brown and starting to crisp at edges.

Often I will toss with goat cheese and/or balsamic glaze (also from trader joes) when they are done.

Brussel sprouts, mushrooms and shallots is my latest favorite. Root veggies are always good. I avoid the potatoes myself but the family eats them.

My favorite is roasted cauliflower.. I toss it with a touch of olive oil and salt and I add some capers too. The capers get crispy and they're very tasty

Asparagus with olive oil and lemon and garlic is good

and right now butternut squash is available and I love to cube that up toss it with some olive oil, salt, a touch of curry and ginger powders

Parsnips. OMG, people, parsnips. Especially good with carrots. I know this cause we're eating our first roasted veggies of the season, it's been too hot here. Today it's cool and rainy. The beets are still in the oven, they always take longer. I parboil the parsnips and potatoes for four minutes first.

Not beets person. They taste like dirt to me, but golden beets roasted with fingerlings and asparagus or green Beans is good. I put the asparagus/green bean in when they root veg are nearly done so they stay nice and crisp. The only seasoning they need are garlic and good evoo.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
