Default What new veggies have you been trying?

And what do you think?

I've tried:
Jicama: yum, crisp and apple-like. I first tried it after seeing it as a part of Rainbow's work.
Kale: I love to make them as crispy chips
Fennel: tastes like black licorice, but idk what recipes to use with it
Celery/celeric root: it tastes kinda like celery, but I can't stand it. It makes me sico no matter how I prep it

jicama - really like it fried with cinnamon and splenda
fennel - really good roasted but don't know what else to do with it
kale - made it to chips....mine turned out horrible

Those are about all the new ones I have tried.

I had never roasted veggies before and now that is my favorite way to eat mushrooms, cauliflower and asparagus.

kale - I love the chips, although my first batch was horrid. Had to practice a little on those!

Tried rutabaga . . . took one bite the threw them all out. Never again!

Cauliflower rice is my new favorite thing!

I am loving rhubarb and jicama. i like to make them sweet.
jicama I saute or eat raw, sprinkle it with cinnamon and truvia

rhubarb stove top cooked with torani salted caramel, truvia, a little baking soda to cut tart taste, apple pie spice, nutmeg, cinnamon. a splash of WF Syrup. so yummy. some mornings I have some over oatmeal packet.

I love rutabaga now as fries with my Big Mac Salad, didn't think I would like that veggie but it's pretty good baked crispy.
Jimaca with fried then sprinkled with cinnamon and splenda is a treat, never thought I would like that veg either. Thanks to Rainbow smiles and her recipes!

Jicama- I love it cut an baked into fries with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
Kohlrabi- peeled and shredded and cooked into hash browns. I have it in the morning with my scrambled egg whites.
Zucchini- dehydrated into salt and vinegar chips

Kale - love making chips and dipping them in WF ketchup!
Turnips - So delicious when made like a baked potato! My turnip fries were a little gross...
Zucchini - I love slicing them with a mandolin and making them like noodles. I throw in some WF tomato and basil and have a spaghetti.

I have failed at rhubarb twice. Both times tasted weird, and kind of like dirt. I think I'd be better with frozen rhubarb, but can't find anything.

And I've messed up cauliflower rice a few times as well, so I've pretty much given up on that for the time being!
