Colorful vegetables I roasted today are purple cabbage, broccoli, yellow beets, onions and red peppers. The beets take longer so I preheated the oven to 400 degrees and roasted them 20 minutes longer than the others. Each type of veggies were coated (separately) in melted coconut oil and sea salt.

After the beets did their initial time I added them to the pan with the rest of the pretty colors and continued to roast for 25 more minutes. That was perfect for 600 feet above sea level. Adjust the time for your own altitude if necessary.
As some of you know we have had such an excellent time with Alice living with us. Our purpose to eat healthy is renewed. Plant based food is a consistent message from her. Use small portions of meat for flavoring. So besides eating more veggies, we've been trying out complex carbohydrates such as French green lentils. Yesterday I found French blue lentils and we had them in our soup tonight. Yum!
Like, TOTALLY awesome. Wish I was there. Sometimes blogs just don't cut the mustard, even though the colors, pictures and serving dishes are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, I also wish you were here or I was there. As always, I'm missing you.
