Keeping the Weight Off with Fresh Veggies

I love veggies from the garden. I know it is helps me in keeping the weight off. My favorite is roasted vegetables.

After losing a significant amount of weight between 2007 and 2012,  I’ve been working on keeping the weight off and staying fit and strong. For those that listen to the podcast and are part of the Becoming Elli community, it comes as no surprise that one of my “secrets” for keeping the weight off is by eating lots of vegetables.

I slice the zucchini in half and then length wise

Trying to keep them a uniform size is a good idea because they will cook evenly.

I just reused the matt that I used from cooking the other vegetables. I lightly sprayed them with extra virgin olive oil spray and lightly salted.

My stove works well at 375 degrees for 25 minutes on the first side. Flip once and roast again for 10 more minutes. Delicious!!

What’s your favorite way of roasting vegetables? Temperature, baking sheet? Olive oil? Do you use salt? I’m always looking for ways to make it more healthy and more delicious!
