I will never get tired of sauteed yellow and zucchini squashes with onion in a dash of olive oil then sprinkled with a little salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Yu-u-mmy!

What veggies have you tried and how are you roasting them?

I used to spray a roasting pan with cooking spray. Now I take about 1 tsp of olive or canola oil and put it on the tray and spread it out with a pastry brush. Then I place my veggies on, and it's usually an enormous amount, ENORMOUS, and spray generously with the cooking spray and then roast away. DELISH.

Do give up on roasting! Keep experimenting. It does take a knack that you will eventually get the hang of.

Robin, can you tell me what temp you are using and how long you are cooking?

Well it depends on which veggie I'm cooking. Broccoli and asparagus go waaay faster then string beans, cauliflower and brussel sprouts.

Most do well at 400 degrees. But if I have something else in the oven that needs to be at 350, I'll manage and just cook it for longer.

I'm terrible with watching the clock and it would be hard for me to even give out an exact time. I just watch the veggies and when they have that "look" - they're done.

Carrots and Parsnips, par boil em and then put them in oven with some cooking spray and a snip or two off rosemary. Had that yesterday for lunch with my favoreite brussel sprouts,

Also cabbage. I just love it, must be the irish in me

I LOVE olive oil. So when I cook I figure on making 4 portions. One portion for me, 1.5 for my husband, .5 for each of my kids. So I add 3-4 T of EVOO. I put it all in a ziplock and SHAKE THE **** out of it.

I usually cook most things in my convection oven at 325-350 for as long as it takes

How surprising - since I got the idea from YOU

I just *love* spinach and found I can put it in just about anything, even blended into fruit smoothies (it somehow works well with strawberries).

I sneak it into tomato sauce by liquefying it in the blender . . . my boyfriend doesn't notice the added nutrition when I'm making spaghetti or other pastas with a red sauce (oh, and I make sure the pasta is whole wheat).

All your ideas are rockin I am gonna have to try some of them. Tonight I took my Carrots,Cauilflower, Broccoli I started out by bakin them for about 20 min and then I placed them in the broiler for a few min. They had so much more flavor then Steamin. I will have to do it again..

Ok I have gotten a Notebook and making a copy of these Wonder veggie ideas. I will be making me a grocery list to take shopping with me. Thanks Everyone.
