By Vanessa Carrillo
Eating enough vegetables is crucial for a healthy diet, but let's face it, sometimes they can be a bit boring. Adding fat to your veggies is a delicious and easy way to make them more flavorful and satisfying. Not only does fat enhance the taste of veggies, but it also helps your body absorb important nutrients. Here are some tips and tricks for making your veggies taste better with fat:
Roast your veggies
Roasting vegetables in a bit of olive oil or coconut oil is a great way to bring out their natural sweetness and add some depth of flavor.
Sauté your veggies
Sautéing vegetables in a bit of butter or ghee is another great way to add some richness and flavor to your veggies.
Add some cheese
Sprinkling a bit of cheese on your veggies is an easy way to add some fat and flavor. Try topping your veggies with some shredded parmesan or crumbled feta.
Drizzle with oil
Drizzling your veggies with a high-quality oil, such as extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil, is an easy way to add some healthy fat and flavor.
Top with nuts or seeds
Adding some chopped nuts or seeds to your veggies not only adds some healthy fat, but also some crunch and texture. Try sprinkling some chopped almonds or pumpkin seeds on your veggies.
Use creamy dressings
Instead of using low-fat dressings, try using creamy dressings made with healthy fats, such as avocado or tahini. These dressings not only add flavor, but also help your body absorb important nutrients.
Make vegetable dips
Dips made with healthy fats, such as hummus or guacamole, are a great way to add some flavor and fat to your veggies. Try dipping your veggies in some homemade hummus or guacamole for a delicious and nutritious snack.
By adding some fat to your veggies, you can easily make them taste better and more satisfying. With these tips and tricks, you'll be able to enjoy your veggies in a whole new way.
Note: Saturated fats are advised to limit. Enjoying small amounts to bring out the natural flavors of bitter vegetables can help transition you into eating more produce as you get adjusted to eating more servings.
