Vegetables are the core of my diet. Yeah, go figure. I eat a heck of a lot of them, more so than probably most people I know. My favourite way of preparing vegetables would have to be roasted, doused with ghee or coconut oil, and with copious amounts of salt, spices or herbs sprinkled on top. THE BEST. Gone are the day or boring steamed vegetables. Ok, I’ll admit. Some days I really do just crave good ol’ steamed vegetables. Trust me on this though; you need to jump on the roasted root vegetables bandwagon if you haven’t already.
There’s not much to this recipe but I wanted to share it with you because it’s basically a staple way of preparing them in my kitchen. It’s an old favourite that I want passed on through the generations, starting with me. I plan to pass this recipe on to anyone and everyone who cares to give me the time of day in the instance I actually have no children to leave my legacy behind with.
Who knows what the earth has in mind for me. I don’t. Just rolling with it day by day. The best way to live, no?
