Roasting your Veg

Roasting your vegetables brings out their natural sugars and makes them taste absolutely delicious!

 Let me introduce you to the beautiful brussel sprout. WHAT???? I know, I used to hate them when I was younger. But now... it's all in the way you prepare them and they are delicious. Just look at the nutritional punch they pack!

"A 1-cup serving of cooked Brussels sprouts has only 56 calories and less than 1 gram of fat, but packs 1209 International Units of vitamin A, 97 milligrams of vitamin C, 219 micrograms of vitamin K, 94 micrograms of folate and 4 grams of dietary fiber. That's 24 percent of the daily value for vitamin A, 162 percent of the daily value for vitamin C, 274 percent of the daily value for vitamin K, 24 percent of the daily value for folate, and 16 percent of the daily value for dietary fiber."

This is how I do it:
Cut them in half, rub them with canola oil, salt and pepper. Put them in a hot oven (425) and let them roast for about 15 minutes, flip them, and then for another 10 minutes, depends on the amount, size of pan etc.

Look how gorgeous they came out, I roasted a few carrots and green beans too. Yum, Yum.... yes, your family will eat their veggies too when you roast them like this, they're like candy!
