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
  • kale - second time trying. made kale chips. disgusting
    zucchini - new favorite vegetable next to broccoli
    patty pan squash - yum
    turnip - making this week as fries

    cant find jicama anywhere
  • 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.

  • turnip - as fries or thin sliced baked with vinegar salt n pepper as chips
    kale as chips
    radish - peeled with lemon n salt - yumm
    i looking toward trying jicama now
  • 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!
  • Cauliflower
    what you can't you do with it
  • 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!
