If I start to get bored with fresh or steamed veggies I place them in the oven on a low heat over 1 to 2 hours. I use olive oil to lightly coat them. Vegetables I roast are, potato, sweet potato, carrots, capsicum, parsnip, pumpkin.
MORE INFORMATION:
You can then add them to a salad of lettuce and tomatoes. Or if hungry have some as a snack. It is good to have healthy edible food in the fridge. so if you feel hungry outside of normal mealtimes there is nothing nicer than a caramelized parsnip or carrot.

I do the same, adding herbs. Found that dried thyme, oregano and dill to add a nice flavor...

One year for Thanksgiving I roasted broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and onions, mainly so I would have something healthy for Thanksgiving dinner. Turns out my family loved them and now requests that I make them for every holiday!

I totally agree, Baked, broiled, BBQ'd adds various flavours to all the veggies we love. Try some new veggies daily, you'll never know what you'll love...

I fill up on fruits and veggies. If I want something sweet I eat fruit. If I'm starving I eat veggies which are filling. If I eat a salad I dip my fork in the salad dressing instead of pouring all those extra calories on the salad. I weigh and measure everything. this helps me to keep a check on portion control.
