Several ideas include:
- Making roasted winter vegetables! Cookie Sheet @ 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes with olive oil, salt and pepper
- Making vegetable soup or stews
- Fixing up “faux potatoes” using steamed cauliflower
- My family LOVES stir-fried cabbage & carrots seasoned with salt, pepper & turmeric
- Make spaghetti squash instead of using pasta, add sauce and enjoy
- Add raw kale to a smoothie
- Sauté any of those veggies/greens with fresh garlic cloves and olive oil
