Upgraded Roasted Veg — What To Do With Your Roasted Vegetables
Upgraded Roasted Veg — What To Do With Your Roasted Vegetables
This is another post in our “Upgrade Your Nutrition” challenge
The idea is basically we’re doing a different thing every day for 28 days to try and get more good stuff in.
So trying to get more veggies in, more fruit in, more healthy stuff. Well, just more good stuff, more natural stuff. Instead of trying to cut stuff out, we’re just trying to put more good in, so that’s the focus for this challenge.
Today, we picked roast veggies. If I’m doing a roast chicken for dinner, one of my favourite things to cook on the weekend is roast Mediterranean vegetables. In there we’ve got some corgette, peppers, red onion, and garlic.
Roast Mediterranean Veg Recipe
Basically, these are a great prep-ahead vegetable. All I did was chop them up, put a little bit of olive oil, a little bit of my favourite seasoning on there.
Roasted those for about 45 minutes on about 200 degrees. And now some of those are going to go with our dinner, and the rest is going to go in the fridge because they are fantastic for adding with whatever meat you’re having in an evening during the week.
Add some of those on the side of your meal. You can also add them in an omelette in the morning. You can add those with some eggs, maybe a little bit of feta cheese or something. You can load your frittata. You could add them to pasta. You could add them to curries or chilies or pretty much anything.
They’re a really good option to prepare ahead, put them in a Tupperware in the fridge and see how long they last.
They don’t normally last very long in our house because they’re really nice, and they go with everything. So that is my tip for you today.
We’re challenging folk to upgrade their nutrition, with a new idea to make incremental improvements to what they eat. This is not about restriction or elimination, calorie counting or diets.
It’s marginal gains for the foods you’re already eating.
