Do you wish you knew easy healthy recipes so that your kids would eat more vegetables? Do you wish you enjoyed eating a few more vegetables yourself?!
These easy healthy recipes don’t have to be complicated. One simple cooking technique will work for almost any vegetable and all you need is a pan, olive oil, and salt. Plus, a very hot oven…

#1 Technique for Vegetables Kids Love for Easy Healthy Recipes
Roasting vegetables is not only easy, but it’s also delicious. With slightly crispy edges and soft insides, the flavor intensifies with just a hint of sweetness. If you’ve never tried roasting vegetables, this technique is worth doing tonight. Be sure to add this to your list of easy healthy recipes, too!
THE TECHNIQUE: Heat your oven to 400 degrees F (425 if you have more than one pan in the oven at a time). Chop or slice any vegetable into uniform size (about the same width, height, etc.), slather with a few tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. That’s the basic technique!
