How to Incorporate More Veggies in Your Diet

I'm sure that you've heard time and time again to eat more vegetables.  It sounds so simple and might be if we lived in a world with vegetable stands instead of ice cream & hot dog stands!

Luckily, there are some easy ways to eat more veggies.  One of my favorites is roasting vegetables.  Just preheat your oven to 400 degrees, spread 1-2 TBS of olive oil or avocado oil on a baking sheet, and add your favorite veggies, chopped into bite-sized pieces.  

Listed below are approximate roasting times.  It's important to stir the vegetables halfway through cooking time, so that they don't burn.  Also, check to to see if they're done by testing with a fork or cooling a piece and biting into it.

~10-15 minutes:  Asparagus, Bell Peppers, Bok Choy, Zucchini
~20-30 minutes:  Broccoli, Cauliflower, Eggplant, Fennel, Onions, Mushrooms & Tomatoes
~25-35 minutes:  Beets, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Potatoes, Winter Squash

Here's to good eating!
