Veggies

what's good roasted? I like sprouts, was going to give cabbage a bash, I don't like carrots (find them too sweet) what do you guys like? x

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Courgette, mushrooms, red pepper, red onion, tomatoes are my favourite roasted veggies 🙂
I drizzle with olive oil and add garlic.

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Have to say I've never tried sprouts, do you par boil them first?

I have roasted parsnips, sweet potatoes and beetroot at various times and like them all. Drizzle oil on broccoli florets and bake for 20 minutes (fan 180) , a 'nuttier' taste than when boiled. Cauliflower is supposed to roast well but not tried it yet. Admit I am type 2 diabetic and not on medication, so have little idea if any of these are suitable for you

I don't but then again I prefer them on the crunchy side.....

All mentioned are a little too carb laden for me I'm afraid x

Has anyone ever done roast radish? x

 

[kentish maid]

Just thought, my mother in law used to roast celery, that may be ok?

 

[Midnightrider]

Roast celeriac is particularly good, especially with fish, as is roast fennel (a personal favourite). You can also roast parsnips, squash, and sweet potato too.

Butternut squash definitely and kohlrabi

I often have courgete by itself, is that OK for you?

 

[trophywench]

You want young celery still attached as a bunch - trim and halve it lengthwise and you braise it, not roast. Absolutely delish but from raw, steam for about 10 minutes and then braise in about half an inch of stock - proper meat stock is the best, with meat fat in it but whatever floats your boat!

I wouldn't have thought there were very many carbs in even half a ton of 'trees' or 'flowers' (what broccoli and cauli have always been served to the grandkids as!)

 

[Lucy Honeychurch]

Braised celery is great for home made soups too, adds fantastic flavour.

Spaghetti Squash..... Halved, drizzled with Olive Oil & roasted for about an hour at 400 (Fahrenheit)

kohlrabi

Excuse my ignorance but I've never heard of it! lol, what is it and where am I most likely to find it?

To be honest hun I don't have a clue haha, I don't know if I like courgette, I had it once years ago and wasn't keen on it but that's probably due to the fact the person boiled it to within an inch of its life and it was a soggy pile of mush! lol

Spaghetti Squash

Looked for that online for someone else and every website I went on said it wasn't available so that's not a possibility at the moment x

Apparently you can roast baby gem lettuce. I haven’t tried it but it’s on my list.
Savoy cabbage goes nicely crispy.
I love roasted baby tomatoes: so easy and quick.

Portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheese and garlic.

Really, wouldn't have thought of roasting a lettuce! haha x

ah see I'm not TOO keen on mushrooms, I had one of the pre-packed garlic cream cheese stuffed mushrooms a few months ago and I did like it but that was far carbier than if I'd made it myself as I wouldn't have added the crumbs! lol x
