Food doesn't need to be complicated, expensive or fancy. It just needs to taste good. Bonus points if you're getting some good nutrition in as well! Tonight's dinner is a perfect example of that. Toss some roasted vegetables into a bowl and garnish with a couple dollops of ricotta cheese...done! I have some healthy fat, protein and vegetables all in one bowl. Prep is easy, cooking is easy and clean up is easy!
There's barely a "recipe" to this but the basic process is below.
Ingredients:
- Whole milk ricotta cheese (Just do it...the whole fat stuff is more satisfying than low fat which means you don't need to eat as much!)
- Vegetables - whichever combination you prefer. For tonight I did asparagus, onion, zucchini and cherry tomatoes.
- EVOO
- Seasonings (whatever blend you like...I kept it simple and just used salt, pepper and garlic salt for this)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Prep any veggies that may need slicing/dicing/etc.
- I put the cherry tomatoes and asparagus on the baking sheet whole.
- Peel and slice the onion.
- Peel (or wash the skin and leave it on) the zucchini and slice into half moons or discs or whatever shape you like.
- Season veggies with EVOO and your choice of seasonings.
- Roast in oven until done...I like mine a little soft but not mushy, with some good brown color on them. Takes about 15-20 minutes depending on how you like your veggies and how small or large you chopped the pieces.
- Serve in a bowl alongside a couple small scoops of the ricotta cheese.
- Enjoy!
