Dear Nutritionist: Caramelize Your Veggies

by Lisa Samuel, Co-op News contributor

Lisa Samuel, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist

Dear Nutritionist: I know vegetables are good for me, but I don’t really like them. Do you have any tips for making them delicious?

Dear Member: I get this question so often! One of the simplest tricks to making vegetables more delicious to a picky eater is to roast them. Roasting brings out the natural sugars in the vegetables, caramelizing them and making them taste sweeter. And you can roast all kinds of veggies: cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, mushrooms, kale … the options are endless. In general, just coat them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and any herbs or spices you like. Roast in a 425°F to 450°F oven until the vegetables are caramelized.

See Lisa's recipe for Whole Roasted Cauliflower and Tahini Sauce.

Grow and Forage Medicinal Herbs

Many medicinal herbs are easy to grow and do not require a lot of space to produce a decent harvest. Additionally, many common “weeds” have medicinal properties.
