Deliciously Easy Baked Veggies

I don’t know about you, but I have this awful habit of buying fresh produce in bulk with no plan of how I’m going to actually eat it all. Then a week goes by and my fridge is still chockfull of a random assortment of veggies I should’ve eaten (but reached for the ice cream instead…)

Side note: I’d be lying if I said vegetables are my favorite… they’re not. But this recipe is to die for.

Not anymore! This super simple recipe makes vegging-out tasty and easy, and is perfect for that random assortment I’m sure you have lingering around.

Voila! Now you’ve got tender and tasty veggies that pair perfectly with grilled chicken, steak, marinara sauce (great vegan/vegetarian option!), or just as a snack-a-rooni. 

Pro tip: fill at least half of your plate with veggies before reaching for a carb source. Vegetables are full of fiber and micronutrients which keep you fuller longer and promote a healthy, happy body.
