Your top three, go-to veggie side dishes

Anonymous
Roasted Broc or Brussel sprouts as well.

Green beans and mushrooms sautéed together with some butter and soy sauce

Cherry Tomatoes, Avocado and Mozzarella "caprese"

During the fall, I usually just throw whatever veggies I have together and roasted them. Peppers, onions, mushrooms, Brussels, etc etc etc.

1. Broccoli, a red pepper, garlic cloves, olive oil, balsamic, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper in the oven at 425 for 30-45 minutes (depending on how much broccoli and how many layers). A little black is good, but you may want to cover at a certain point.

2. Sautee onions, half an eggplant (cubed), some bell pepper (any color) in a pan in canola oil and/or butter (butter is GOOD with this, even though it sounds weird). You may need to add more oil because eggplant is a sponge and will burn. De-glaze the pan with a mixture of a few tbsp soy sauce, a tbsp of rice wine vinegar, a tbsp of white sugar (whatever, it's good when it's sweet). Throw in a big handful of basil and a few chopped red chilies (or forget the chilies and use sriracha to finish). Serve alone, or over rice and with edamame as a side for a meal. LOVE THIS.

3. Sautee a little diced onion and garlic on the stove. When browned, add a bag of frozen corn (or 6 or so ears of fresh corn if in season). Throw in a bunch of halved grape tomatoes, a handful of cilantro, and toss w/ a little more olive oil. Can add black beans for a more hearty side dish, but I like it simple and pure veggies.

1. Sauté part of a diced onion and garlic in olive oil in a medium skillet. Add a couple Tb lemon juice and about 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer, add a head of broccoli (cut into florets), and toss to cover with the lemon juice. Cover and pan-steam for a few minutes, then uncover and let the remaining water simmer away - toss a few more times to make sure the broccoli is coated with the lemon/garlic.

2. Roasted asaparagus with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

3. Green beans, lightly steamed and tossed with butter and salt.
