Although vegetables are healthy and essential, not everyone likes them. If you want to incorporate it into your diet more, then you can try roasting them.

This process of cooking makes the edges of the veggies caramelized, giving them a slightly sweet taste which is a lot more appealing. With a little bit of prep work, you can make perfectly-roasted vegetables which your whole family will enjoy.

I’ve been making this SPICY ROASTED BROCCOLI 🥦 at least twice a week lately. It’s so simple, cooks fast, and it’s infinitely better than steamed (wilted and sad) broccoli. 🙅🏼‍♀️ • Sometimes I make an entire baking sheet of it and don’t share. I know this says nothing good about me. It’s the least of my flaws, trust me. • There’s just something about that crunch you get when roasting. 👊🏻 And all those little browned bits. Y’all, pardon me while I salivate. • And this broccoli has a kick that I crave. 🔥 Let’s just say no to boring veggies, okay? • Pssst You can skip the red pepper flakes 🌶 if you’re wary of the heat. I won’t give ya a hard time, I promise. 🤫 • Find this recipe and all my recent recipes by clicking the link in my profile @thewholecook. • #broccoli #roastedveggies #roastedvegetables #spicyfood #redpepperflakes #crushedredpepper #whole30 #whole30recipes #aprilwhole30 #iamwhole30 #eatrealfood #jerf #dairyfreelife #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreelife #easyrecipes #sidedish #eatcolorful #eatyourveggies #wwfreestyle #wwsisterhood #ketorecipes #goodmoodfood #eatyourbroccoli #thefeedfeed #vegetarianrecipes #healthyrecipes

  1. While preparing your vegetables, preheat your oven first since a lot of veggies benefit a lot from a high blast of heat. This actually promotes the browning as well as the caramelization.
  2. Next, prepare your veggies. The preparation would depend on the type of vegetables you’re planning to roast. You can rinse, scrub, peel, chop the vegetables, and more.

Enjoy where you are on the way to where you’re going. 🥕 There will always be something more to chase. If we cannot learn to be content today we likely won’t be content after we get married, have a kid, get a raise, buy a house or something for our hobby. In the end it boils down to loving God and treating others the way we want to be treated. 🍅 It starts with today. I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work after spending the last several days with friends and family. 1) How does it make you feel when you look back at your own family photos when you were little? 2) Would you like to see some photos of me growing up?

  1. When you’ve prepared the vegetables, it’s time to season them. If you want to go the easy route, simply drizzle a cast-iron skillet or a half-sheet pan with an oil that’s safe in the high heat. Then toss the prepared veggies in the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. After that, toss the veggies again to coat them evenly.

  1. Finally, start roasting the vegetables in the oven. The time would depend on the size of the vegetables and their density. Check the oven often though so you don’t overcook the vegetables.
