Simple Tips for Losing Weight Naturally (roasted vegetables)

 roasted vegetables good for weight loss :

Weight Loss Tip: Roasted vegetables can be eaten many different ways. Try them with plain yogurt or yogurt dip, sprinkled with vinegar, pepper, or Parmesan cheese, dressed up with fresh thyme or oregano, tossed with pasta or nuts, mixed with seasoned rice, or added to salads.

Roasted vegetables are the perfect staple for Friendsgiving and more! A mixture of our favorite vegetables is roasted until golden brown and caramelized. Vegetables are sprinkled with tender roasted garlic cloves and enhance the creamy taste of an easy hummus vinaigrette.

This version of baked vegetables is served perfectly hot or at room temperature, which means they can be prepared in advance for your party while preparing the rest of the meal.


How to grill vegetables :

What vegetables can be grilled? Almost everything is happening; Peppers, onions, Brussels sprouts, carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes, to name a few.

What about frozen vegetables? Sure, frozen vegetables can be grilled, but they don't caramelize as well as fresh ones. They are already soft, so the cooking time will be much shorter. Be sure to place the garlic in the oven early so you have time to become soft and golden.

• Cut evenly: cut vegetables evenly so they cook evenly. If you have vegetables to cook faster like peppers, they can be added during cooking to avoid overcooking.

• Add oil: a generous dose of oil prevents vegetables from sticking and allows them to caramelize.

• High temperature: Cooking at high temperature allows the vegetables to brown and caramelize, which means more flavor!

• Add flavor: season vegetables before cooking, but keep in mind that some herbs and chopped garlic can burn at high temperatures. We add a delicious Sabra hummus vinaigrette to these vegetables to get the most from yum!

• Roasting garlic: makes it sweet and delicious! Place the garlic cloves in a small package in a single layer, add the olive oil and seal well. If time permits, place them in the oven about 15 minutes before the rest of the vegetables.

To Make the Hummus Drizzle :

The star of this recipe is the vinaigrette dressing, it has tons of flavor and adds a creamy element to the dish. Sabra Hummus is of course great for dipping and even hummus toast but it creates an amazing vinaigrette too (I used classic flavor, feel free to swap up the flavors)!

This hummus vinaigrette drizzle is a delight over any assortment of roasted root vegetables! Make a little extra to use over salads or for dipping!

Friendsgiving Tips :

Friendsgiving is a time for celebration of great friends and great food!

Plan in advance so everyone has a chance to save the date

• If you’re hosting, it’s a good idea to prepare the main dish as you’ll have access to the oven
• If you’re a guest, be mindful that the oven may be full, a dish like these roasted veggies is great because it can be made ahead of time.
• Choose a dish that can be served warm or kept warm in the slow cooker (or even served at room temperature like this one)
• Keep appetizers light and fresh (like fresh veggies and hummus for dipping) so your hungry guests don’t fill up before the main event.

How to store leftovers :

These heat up beautifully and are delicious! Store leftover grilled vegetables in the refrigerator in an airtight container and should last approximately one week. To refresh them, just add some extra dressing and put them in the microwave.
