You can roast the whole head, or break it into chunks. I prefer chunks. Place on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. If you want, you can use your oil alottment and drizzle it on the pieces, or rub it on the whole head if you decide to roast the head whole. You can also shake the pieces with the oil in a ziploc bag with seasonings and shake to coat.

Bake at 400 - 470 degrees. I like to roast at 400 for potatoes, 450 for most other veggies, and 470 for high water veggies. You do have to keep a very close eye and nose at the higher heats, so 400 allows you more leeway.

yah i usually do 1/2 a head of it...plop it in a bowl add my spices, some oil, place on cookie sheet...425 for 20-22 mins..and bam-o.! deliciousness... i do this same thing with mushrooms, asparagus (makes your urine real stinky)....broccoli, anything really....i love veggies tho, so raw, cooked..i dunno...this procress brings them to a level a never knew existed (mostly because while i ate alot of raw veggies/steamed veggies, getting creative is what most of the pro's here suggested. Check out all the recipe threads and blogs...they all have amazing ideas, and ways of making everything look AMAZING. i just wish i had the cooking skills that some of them possess).

another easy, fast way to get veggies in...puree them into a soup mix (steer clear of the chicken noodle imho its off...the plain chicken is yumo tho, as is the broccoli-cheddar)....this was an idea i got from Lisa32989... its been a life changer.

Saw this in another thread. Maybe something in it will help.

Congrats on 12! That's fantastic. :)

Just cut it into bite size pieces. I use a mist of EVOO spray and garlic salt & pepper. Roast it at about 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Check it, you may need to turn the pieces. Then roast it for another 5-10 minutes, depending.

Also, I have found that I like using cauliflower as rice. Grate it in a food processor. Then I saute that with curry powder and a small amount of chicken broth (OP of course). It makes a curried-rice side that's great.

Good luck!

I too get tired of veggies the same old ways. When I am craving something fruity I make Mock Applesauce with zucchini. I haven't seen a recipe for that in the threads around here but I modified one off of Cooks.com

Peel & Quarter one medium zucchini add into a blender until mushy
Put the mash into a sauce pan with 1/8 cup vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar) Add cinnamon and sweetener to taste (I use stevia in the raw or truvia)
Heat in sauce pan until boiling, boil for five minutes.

Usually the zucchini equals two cups so I get usually eat half and save half for the next day. Easy way to get a cup of veggies in.

addictive "rice"
 

new here so im not sure if this recipe has been posted yet but my coach told me about cauliflower rice... take cauliflower and either grate it with a cheese grater or do it in your food processor ( a lot faster this way). Then cook the grated cauliflower with lots of seasonings and a bit of EVOO until browned. I like to serve it with stir fried beef or eat it alone with frank red hot buffalo sauce... it really feels like you are eating rice but i actually like the taste of this better! You can change up the seasoning you use depending on what you will be serving it with, sometimes I use soy sauce or ill just use lots of Italian seasonings. Enjoy :carrot:

Roasted cabbage!

get out! explain how you do this Donna...!! omg i love cabbage....does it stink up your place like boiling it would?

In my opinion, boiling creates a much stronger smell than sauteeing or roasting, but I've never found a completely odor-free way of cooking cabbage.

I took a peek at your blog, (kaplods spa style weight loss) wow, what a cat story!! I have a big kitty, too, and it is nearly impossible to get the weight off. I even took him to an acupuncturist/nutritionist vet for a diet recommendation. (Not for acupuncture) He loved the diet she put him on, some of it homemade. Anyway, he loved it so much that he pestered me day and night for more. So, in the end, it turned out to not be "livable". Plus, he actually didn't lose any weight. He only gets 1/2 cup of cat food a day, not much for a large cat.

I apologize for digressing from the topic. But for anyone who loves cats, this is a MUST read!
