What veggie sides do you eat during the week?

oct11bride03

I really need some new ideas. I'm getting sick of roasting or steaming broccoli or heating up some frozen corn/peas/green beans.

Salads aren't really an option unless they're the main course because I've found we don't really eat them as a side and I don't want to waste the ingredients.

We've been digging mashed califlower lately.

broccoli, green beans, and carrots are our man staples. sometimes cauliflower. i'll make a cheese sauce once in awhile to drizzle on broccoli or cauliflower.

I love sauteed zucchini.  Also roasted butternut squash or asparagus

Whatever frozen veggies we have.  I usually forget until about 5 minutes before dinner is ready.,

mrs.marie.g

for living with a vegetarian you'd think we'd at more vegetables on the side

we do salad a lot

mozzerella caprese

cucumbers and tomatoes drizzled with some italian dressing (belles FAVE)

asparagus

Roasted Asparagus.  Brussel sprouts sauteed with onions and bacon; I microwave them for a bit to steam them first.

asparagus- raosted with parmesan cheese and balsamic

peppers w/ zuchinni & feta - sauteed with evoo, salt pepper garlic 

green beans - boiled then sauteed w/ turkey bacon and lots of garlic or in the form of a casserole w/ mushrooms and cream of mushroom

creamed spinach - the frozen kind - not great but easy

Roasted asparagus is a favorite here - I coat it w/olive oil and a little bit of Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs and roast at 400 for about 12 minutes-ish.  

We also have either kale or escarole once a week - sauteed with garlic and oil, S&P.  Broccoli rabe, roasted root veggies, cucumber salad (in lieu of a tossed salad), brussel sprouts (I roast them - I know a lot of people roast with bacon or pancetta, but I don't use meat with mine)... I know you said you're tired of corn, but I do sometimes use canned white shoepeg corn and I mince sweet onion and bell pepper and cook it all together.  And while technically a fruit, I oven roast slices of plum tomatoes with olive oil, S&P too.

We also do a simple tossed salad every night, so I can't help you there!

Besides the frozen broccoli, peas/carrots, corn.... 

Sauted spinach with oil & garlic

Roasted asparagus

Baked asparagus with Lemon, butter & garlic salt

Sauted zucchini (or steamed) with oil & garlic

Cucumbers with ranch dressing or in the summer fresh tomatoes with S&P & vinegar

Just remembered, my friend said that roasted kale is awesome.  I haven't tried that yet.

Ohhh what about candied carrots... brown sugar & vinegar??? Its been awhile since i've made them.

In the summer time we char romaine lettuce on the grill... cover it with oil and sea salt... so good!

Thanks ladies!

Summer is SO much easier because of the abundance of fresh produce. In winter I feel like nothing fresh is as good.

Saute Broccoli
Roasted Cauliflower (sometimes plain sometimes sprinkled w/ breadcrumbs and/or parm cheese)
Saute of carrots and snap peas (frozen)
string beans cooked and either hot or cold w/ olive oil and balsamic or red wine vinager

I'll grill any veggie I can in the summer
