Skin an eggplant.
Cut into French fries.
Soak 15-20 minutes in ice water.
Dredge through a beaten egg and seasoned cornmeal.

Deep fry and season with fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt.

Enjoy.

I’ve been making cauliflower rice casserole. Sauté an onion, microwave frozen rice for 5 minutes and add to pot. Add a container of spreadable cream cheese (I like chive and onion or jalapeño), then pour into casserole dish and top with cheese.

I’ve added ground turkey and taco seasoning, or broccoli and chicken to make it a one pot meal. I’ve also added spinach just for an additional veggie.

Roast with herbes de Provence or toss some aromatics on the pan instead of just salt and pepper: smashed cloves of garlic, sliced shallots, fresh rosemary or thyme....

I used to add fennel seeds to my pan when roasting cauliflower. Delicious! I'll have to do it again, sometimes soon.

I picked two eggplants yesterday, sliced into fries, tossed w beaten egg, then coated w cornmeal and finely grated Parmesan. Baked at 450 w convection fan in the toaster oven for abt 20 mins. Delicious.

Aside from what you’ll read on here, you’d probably find tons of recipes on Pinterest. My wife (no pics) cooks quite often and most of her “new” meals come from there.

I like to halve fresh Brussels, place in cast iron add butter, Tony’s and some Zatarans garlic herb seasoning. My family requests them every day.

Another favorite: Halve a spaghetti squash, clean seeds. Place in a glass baking Pyrex and spray with olive oil. Season with Tony’s and herbs of your choice. Cover with Saran Wrap and microwave appx 10 mins or until done. When finished add butter and serve. It’s delicious.

1) cube and roast whatever veggies you have tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and cavenders. Toss with cooked cous cous, balsamic vinegar, oil, goat cheese, mint, cilantro, and whatever else sounds good. Serve with hummus and pita bread

2) make veggie lasagne. Slice the veggies, roast, then layer with ricotta, goat cheese, pesto, whatever sauce you like, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. bake then run under the broiler

This will blow your mind how good and easy it is. Frozen broccoli with butter and tony chachere and microwave it for a few minute in a ziplock bag and eat like that or you can put in the air fryer.

I don't have much to add but I eat 3-ish cups of veggies with most meals at home, and let me tell you... they basically never are exciting unless you want to drown them in butter, cheese, bacon, or deep fry. You eat them because they are good for you.

Then you're doing something wrong. Vegetables can taste great without the four requisites you listed.

I didn't say they don't taste good, they just don't excite me anymore since I eat a ton of them. I go to the store and feel like I eat all of the veggies of the time.

Roast some broccoli and cauliflower. Mix together olive oil, juice of a lemon, salt, pepper (and I like to add habanero or hot pepper dust for a kick). Cook to texture, then turn on the broiler and top with parmesan cheese and melt.

Roasted or grilled brussels sprouts coated with an olive oil/balsamic vinegar combo or splashed with balsamic after cooking

Thai Chili Roasted Brussels Sprouts




Ingredients:
1 pound brussels sprouts, stem trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons fish sauce or soy sauce
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
Directions:
Heat the oven to 400F. On a baking sheet, toss the brussels sprouts in cooking oil to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing them halfway so they cook evenly. Remove brussels sprouts from the oven and turn on oven broiler to high, with the oven rack positioned in the top third of the oven.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the brussels sprouts, tossing to coat evenly. Broil the brussels sprouts for 5 minutes or until the sugar in the chili sauce is bubbling and caramelizing. Watch them carefully so they don't burn! Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
