Roasted Veggie Plate

Ingredients: Broccoli, Brussel’s Sprouts, Sweet Potato, Walnuts, Goat Cheese, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Maldon Sea Salt

The time I really don’t feel like turning the stove or the oven on the most is after I get home from a summer run. It’s moments like this that make me so happy I prepped large quantities of yummy roasted veggies. Of course, if you love veggies as much as I do, this is a welcome plate pretty much any time of the day. Walnuts, extra virgin olive oil, and goat cheese deliver healthy fats and a tiny bit of protein with lots of carbs and fiber. The nutrition coach in me says that I should have added a couple of hard cooked eggs to bump the protein…I didn’t feel like it, so I’ll file that under “Notes For Next Time” and move on. The texture and flavor variation on this one made me super happy and, despite knowing better, purple Brussel’s sprouts just seem like they would be tastier, right? Brussel sprouts and broccoli can be, surprisingly, polarizing and I get that these particular veggies may not be your jam. I love all veggies (except green peppers) equally, so sub in what suits your tastes or try something new from your local farmer’s market!!
