I love roasted vegetables. I love how simple and hassle-free it is to prepare them and I love how the vegetables’ natural sweet and savory taste comes through. I find that the way peppers or butternuts or pumpkins even taste after being roasted is more prominent compared to when you steam or stir-fry them. Not that there’s anything wrong with the latter two methods of preparing vegetables but I’m just making my case here as to why I love roasted veg! You can enjoy them with the meat of your choice, perfect for a lean meal! So if you’re trying to watch what you’re eating you may want to give this a go.
