If you want your family to eat their vegetables, try this roasted eggplant, and turn it into a delicious vegetable sandwich served with a refreshing Greek yogurt dressing.
Freshly roasted vegetables have a nutty flavor and sweet aroma that is hard to resist, and when you put them into a sandwich or a wrap you really have a healthy meal.
This roasted vegetable sandwich took less than 30 minutes from oven to table, and is packed with sweet red onions, squash, tender eggplant, woodsy mushrooms and good-for-you kale. When you stuff your vegetables into a pita shell and top them with a simple Greek yogurt sauce, this sandwich gets even better. Do you have a few extra calories for the day? Crumble a little feta cheese on top for a tangy kick. Now that's a sandwich!
Roasted Vegetable Primer If you've never roasted vegetables, it's truly an easy process. 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. 2. Spray a non-stick cookie sheet with olive oil cooking spray. 3. Spread vegetables like carrots, broccoli, squashes, mushrooms, beets - you name it onto your cookie sheet and sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano, or chopped garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper. Spray with cooking spray. 4. Roast for 20 - 30 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender and starting to lightly brown. Give it a try, I promise you won't be disappointed in the results. Happy cooking!
