The Saturday food and organic market in my neighbourhood.
I get all my fresh vegetables, bread, eggs, cheese and herbs here.
That also means I have a lot of semi-sad looking leftover vegetables in my fridge I need to use up as I hate wasting food.
A friend of mine calls this 'creme du fridge'. I love that. Using what you have in your fridge to make a meal, no recipes required.
That is the inspiration of this super easy and healthy side dish.
What You'll Need:
- 1 lemon
- 1 Tbps grapeseed oil (or olive oil. I like grapeseed oil as I just watched this news story on olive oil and found out the Italian mafia is notorious for olive oil trafficking. No, for real!)
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper...or something like that. I don't measure.
- any Dukan friendly veggies you have kicking around
- some of my favourite veggies, roasted are:
- cauliflower
- eggplant
- zucchini
- tomato (as I can't stand them raw...too unpredictable)
- carrots
- onions
- broccoli
- NEVER cucumber. Cooked cucumbers are super gross.
What You'll Do:
- pre-heat your oven to 180C
- cover your baking tray with tinfoil
- mix the oil, pressed garlic and pepper into a small container
- rough chop all your veggies and place them into a sealed bag. You may want to use a large ziplock bag...of which there are none here in The Netherlands
- pour in the oil mixture and shake the heck of of the bagged veggies
- pour, evenly on your foiled pan
- squeeze a little lemon juice over top for good measure
- twist on another sprinkle of pepper
- bake for 20-30 minutes (baking time will be dependent on the veggies you use. Heartier veggies, like cauliflower and broccoli take longer than say tomatoes)
- that's it!
These go great as a side with my Polenta, Oatbran Chicken Nuggets!
