4 Easy Ways to Make Your Veggies More Enjoyable

Here are 4 easy ways to spruce up your veggies.

1) Roast them with olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. This works particularly well with cauliflower, brussell sprouts, and asparagus. Wash, cut, add ingredients, roast. Easy and delicious.

2) Make a dip with light sour cream. We all love to load our raw veggies with dip, but, dips can be mighty high in fat. Remedy this by taking a container of light sour cream and adding a packet of dry ranch dressing.

3) Make kale chips. Remove the ribs from kale. Cut or tear leaves into 2-inch pieces. Toss lightly with olive oil and salt. Bake until crisp, turning the leaves halfway through, about 20 minutes. The result is a delicious and nutritious crunchy treat.

4) Make them saucy! Bake some zucchini and add your favorite marinara sauce. Or try spaghetti squash...bake it, shred it, add sauce...it's almost like eating a bowl of pasta!
