I love roasting veggies- cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli or asparagus. Toss in a little bit of olive oil and salt, roast them at 425* until they are done to your liking, and then sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. I put fresh lemon juice on asparagus.
Parsnip, carrot and turnip chopped into bite sized pieces. Toss with EVOO, salt, pepper, garlic and Italian Seasoning. Add juice of 1/2 lemon. Roast at 400 for 40 mins turning halfway.
This is our easy comfort food one - tastes like mashed potatoes. We get frozen garlic cauliflower, it's one of those steamfresh kinds, microwave according to instructions and then throw it in the food processor or blender with some milk and just a little butter if you want it creamier. It's yummy.
caramelized brussels sprouts. Toss them with olive oil, brown sugar, salt and pepper and roast them in the oven.
We do this with asparagus too, though we don't usually use brown sugar for either.
I had always roasted them with just a little seasoning until DD discovered a recipe with brown sugar. It's less healthy, but damn, they tasted so good. I can't go back now.
i love this recipe but i do use sliced zucchini as my lasagna noodles and make it a layered dish. super filling, simple, and you can eat breadsticks without feeling the guilt of eating ALL the carbs.
Zucchini and squash. I cook them 2 ways. Either baked in the oven with a little bit of olive oil and parmesan cheese OR mix them with diced tomatoes and onion and cook them on the stove top.
Another vote for zucchini and squash. And red and/or green peppers and onions. Slice everything up, spray and toss w/ EVOO, add sea salt, pepper and thyme. Throw in microwavable bowl and steam until tender.
Who ever said Brussels Sprouts are gross is WRONG. We just had them last night-yum! You can steam them, then add butter and lemon juice. Last night I seared them in 1Tb each butter and olive oil for 2 mins. Then added 1/4C chicken stock and salt and put alid over the pan for 4 mins. Mmmmm
I also love roasted veggies. Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, drizzled in olive oil. Add shallots and sliced garlic too.
In the summer, I like to roast zuchini. I slice them in little rounds, dip them in bread crumbs mixed with ground parm and thyme, then baked them, turning once.

One of my favorites is a mozzarella and tomato salad. Just mix up some fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes in a little balsamic and olive oil. Season with fresh basil and a little salt and pepper. I could eat it all day! Quick to make too.
Roasted and grilled anything - toss with EVOO, salt, pepper and whatever else you like (like dill) and away you go. Last night it was beets, carrots and parsnips chopped and tossed with EVOO, salt, pepper and dill in the oven at 300 for about 45 minutes. Usually you roast at a higher temp but I was doing braised short ribs so the oven was set lower. On the grill I like red peppers, zucchini and mushrooms chopped and tossed with EVOO, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar and grilled in a grill basket.
