18 Vegetable Side Dishes (that aren’t boring!)
If you’re like me and eat lots of vegetables, you’re probably always on the lookout for new ways to prepare them!
I make at least one vegetable side dish for dinner, and steamed broccoli or plain green beans is a little boring for me.
I do steam vegetables now and then, but I much prefer roasting my broccoli with a little olive oil and sea salt over steaming it…..and my “normal” simple green bean dish is boiling them for 5 minutes and then finishing them off in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil and a dash of seasoned salt.
Yummmmmm
(By the way, my sister posted all about veggies that are great for roasting and there are a bunch of great recipes to try!)
It’s so much easier to eat vegetables when they’re deliciously prepared!
I *highly* recommend starting your dinner menu with these Yogurt-Marinated Chicken Kabobs + this Spinach Yogurt Sauce – these, plus a vegetable side dish or two, and you have a GREAT dinner plan!
