Roasting veggies!!
Filed under Healthy Eating, RecipesApr 3A simple and easy way to add new veggies to your life is to try roasting them. Roasting brings out a wonderful flavor and texture of your veggies and are great additions to salads, soups, dips and even as pizza toppings!
Roasting doesn’t have to require a lot of oil, try using nonstick cooking spray on the pan and over the veggies, or use a Misto Olive Oil Sprayer to control the amount of olive oil you use.
