HOT VEG SUMMER
(Hot Cooked Veggies Instead of Raw Salad)
Isn't this a great time to enjoy roasted veggies? Sure it's hot out, but you can do this in a toaster oven in about 20 minutes during the cool part of the day and just reheat it when you are ready to eat, or enjoy it cold or room temperature.
Cut some zucchinis, plum tomatoes, mushrooms and cauliflower into bite size pieces (could add onions, peppers and/or eggplant if desired).
Toss veggies with oil, roast 450°F until caramelized but not burnt (about 20 minutes).
Add salt, garlic powder, ground pepper, fresh shredded basil and grated Parmesan cheese. Also onion crunchies if available. Toss, serve with rice or pasta, and a protein of your choice.
