Eating healthy shouldn’t be something dreaded. It should add joy to your life, as well as keep your body functioning at its best! And roasted veggies is an easy way to do that!

The Importance of Vegetables
Eating veggies isn’t just good—it’s like giving your body a VIP pass to wellness! Packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants, veggies are the superheroes of nutrition, supporting everything from a strong immune system to smooth digestion and optimal organ function.
Why bother? Well, here’s the scoop: Veggies bring a diverse range of essential vitamins and minerals to your plate, essential for keeping your body ticking. Micronutrients like these are the unsung heroes behind cellular processes, metabolism, and keeping your tissues in tiptop shape. Plus, the fiber in veggies is like a superhero for your gut, preventing constipation and promoting a healthy gut microbiome.
And guess what? Veggies are low in calories, high in water content, and your BFF for weight management. The fiber keeps you feeling full, curbing overeating and supporting your goals, whether it’s shedding a few pounds or maintaining your current glow. Plus, tossing a colorful mix of veggies into your meals doesn’t just amp up the nutrition; it adds a burst of flavor, texture, and visual delight to your culinary adventures.
So, there you have it—eating veggies isn’t just a health strategy; it’s the secret sauce for a vibrant and joyful life!
The Best Roasted Garlic Vegetables
Equipment
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Cookie Sheet
Ingredients
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 cups brussels sprouts
- 2 russet potatoes
- 3 cups fresh green beans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 385° F
- Chop the potatoes and brussels sprouts into cubes. The smaller the brussels sprouts are the better they cook!
- Keep all the vegetables in separate piles. Dump the potatoes in a bowl and drizzle enough olive oil to cover. Mix it thoroughly. Put the potatoes on one side of the cookie sheet.
- Do the same thing with the brussel sprouts and green beans, keeping them all separate so you can add them to the cookie sheet in sections. (This makes it easier to remove them if they cook faster than the other.)
- Once everything is on the cookie sheet, sprinkle salt and garlic powder on top.
- Cook in the oven for 15-30 minutes. Sometimes the brussels sprouts will cook faster than the green beans and potatoes, so make sure to keep an eye on them.
- When golden and crisped to perfection, enjoy! They go amazing with steak or chicken!
