I'm trying to get more fruit and vegetables into my diet. Particularly vegetables. I need to eat less fried chips (doesn't really count) and more baked or roasted or otherwise vegetables like potatoes, carrots and greens like broccoli, runner beans and the like!

Like all vegetables that you can only really eat when cooked, they usually taste better when roasted or backed in the oven. But some do taste better than others right? I mean who doesn't prefer their roast spuds over roasted sprouts? What

As for me, my favorite roasted vegetable is parsnip. But not just any ordinary roasted parsnip, it has to be honey roasted parsnips. OMG my mouth is watering just talking about them and I only just eat them for my dinner earlier! What

Image source: BBC Honey Roasted Parsnips Recipe.

I was looking through my freezer and that to see what I could have for dinner and noticed I had some opened half full bags of various vegetables that needed to be eaten up so went with a white fish and three veg dinner. It was cod and mushy peas with honey roasted parsnips that I made with some honey I had in the fridge.

Basically all you do is just smother them in honey then put them in a preheated oven on a baking tray. Putting some tin foil down helps for making less mess. But just cook them as normal turning them about half way and you can drizzle over a little more of the honey if you want to make them even more sweeter and tastier.

I love the flavor and taste of parsnip anyway. They have a kind of sweet, earthly taste and go really really well when baked or roasted with a little honey. What

Some people also use a little Sherry as well but that's mainly on special occasions like Christmas and that. Oh and honey goes well with carrots too but that's another discussion.

Seriously I'm not afraid to say it! I love honey roasted parsnips and I want to tell the whole world lol

Honestly I could eat just these on their own like chips! What

wow! that sounds and looks really good!! I am definitely going to try this out! thanks for sharing this!!!

My favorite roasted vegetable would have to be roasted zucchini in the oven!!!! It is so quick and easy to make!!!

You only need 3 things...zucchini, 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and some salt and pepper! Make sure your oven is preheated to 425°F. Take the zucchini and toss it in the 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, add your salt and pepper. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet until tender, should be about 8 to 10 minutes. And enjoy! Its sooo good!

We usually only bake vegetables when we are making a casserole, and otherwise I usually stir-fry, sautéed, or steam our veggies. In the summer, it seems like zucchini is prolific, and I like a casserole that is made kind of like a pizza; but is made using squash sliced lengthways instead of pizza dough. Then you add the tomato sauce and pizza toppings and cheese over top of everything. It is SO delicious, and a lot less carbs than having a regular pizza is. Mainly, the only vegetable that we eat baked whole would be a potato, and we do not have them very often any more because a potato is such an inflammatory food, and can cause arthritis. When we cook soups in the winter time, we add all kinds of vegetables to that or make a stew, which is also a great way to eat a variety of vegetables.

I actually really love roasted vegetable as long as it is well done. Most of my meals have at least some of it every day.

I have eaten raw parsnip plenty of times but I am not sure why I have never tried to roast it... It sounds and looks amazing though so I will make sure to give it a try.

My all time favorite personal roasted vegetable is paprika though. You know those cute little, a tiny bit sweet, red paprikas? They are so good when roasted... I love to put them into my stir fried rice and they add this unbelievably rich flavor to it. I could eat that every day but sometimes the grocery shops here don't sell them. Most often we have only big green paprikas but yeah, I would recommend it to everybody.

I know this is a starch, but my favorite roasted vegetable is rosemary covered red potatoes. Secondly, I love to rolls asparagus in olive oil and season it with salt, pepper, and lemon juice and roast it low and slow. I could eat a whole bushel of that in one sitting. I also love roasted broccoli with garlic and seasoning. Grilling vegetables is wonderful as well--especially squash and zucchini.

When it comes to roasted vegetables I would go with asparagus, you can add salt, pepper, coriander and you are set, If you are looking for something tastier but less healthy you can add some bacon, wrap that up and it will make a perfect snack. Sweet potatoes are also a good choice, slice that up, add salt, sugar and roast that untill crispy...

I'm an avid fan of asparagus and this snack is really perfect for me. Asparagus is a crunchy vegetable and then you'll add some bacon, That's gonna be an explosion of flavors in my mouth. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing this! What

My all-time favorite roasted vegetable is potato and eggplant. I used to hate eating vegetables, but when my mom cooked me a roasted potato and eggplant I began loving vegetables.

I prefer roasted potatoes the most. They are delicious and filling too. I also enjoy eating mixed roasted vegetables. This serve as a great side dish and I prepare this very often. My whole family actually enjoy eating this one. I recently found some roasted tomatoes recipe online. I really want to try this too. I love eating vegetables. They are not only delicious but loaded with good vitamins and minerals too.

Brussels sprouts! I actually hated Brussels sprouts for most of my life. Then a few years ago, I was at a dinner party and someone had brought roasted Brussels sprouts. They smelled so good, I had to try one. Glad I did, because now I roast Brussels sprouts all the time!!

Nothing beats roasted eggplants, tomatoes and onions for me this when roasted and chopped and mixed with salted red eggs and chopped fresh green mangoes creates a local side dish that eaten with grilled or fried fish or meat. It's like a salad but it's combined with a piece of meat or fish and eaten with rice.

You can roast parsnips?? I never thought to do that. I've always only put parsnips in a soup like I do with carrots. I don't think I have a favorite roasted vegetable. Oh but I do love roasted vegetables. They are wonderful!
