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.

How do you roast your vegetables?

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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
