Stop at one and get yourself some delicious nutrition!
Here is a recipe that uses some great veggies, and you don’t need to use the oven. You can put them on the grill too! Use any vegetable combination that sounds good to you, or use the one below (it was pretty good). But get those fresh veggies on the table!
What you need:
- 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
- ½ onion – any kind (I used purple), cut into wedges
- 10-12 mushrooms, cut in half
- ½ red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 8-10 Brussels sprouts, cut in half
- 2-3 Green onions, cut into large pieces
- 10-12 fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
How to Do it:
Prepare the vegetables and place all the ingredients in a large bowl. Using your hands, toss the vegetables to coat with the olive oil. Add some salt and pepper if you like – but just a bit.
Spread parchment paper out on a large baking sheet and dump the vegetables on, spreading to an even layer.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes, or until the veggies are beginning to get soft and toasted.
Remove from the oven and serve hot – Or chill and serve cold!
Makes about 4 servings
