I am not a huge zucchini or squash lover. However, I always grow them in my garden (no yellow squash pictured here, I've had trouble with my squash plant, so I've been bumming off of LJ). So when my sister told me she's been roasting them with Greek seasoning, I didn't really want the recipe. Then I tried it - and I've been making it every week!
1. Lay aluminum foil (if you want easier cleanup) on your baking sheet, spray with non-stick spray or drizzle EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
2. Slice the zucchini and yellow squash, I've also been adding green bell peppers from the garden.
3. Drizzle a little more EVOO on top of the veggies
4. Sprinkle Cavender's Greek Seasoning
5. Mix/flip/spread out the veggies, seasoning, and oil carefully with a spatula
6. Pop in the oven at 450 degrees for around 15-20 minutes (more or less, depending on how you like your veggies- toasty, soft, etc.)
These are great, easy, fast meal prep veggies.
They heat up in the microwave 30-60 seconds, or you can toss them in a pan on the stove top to reheat too.
This is mostly yellow squash with a little zucchini, and green bell pepper.
Since I am eating high Protein macros right now, most of my plate (60% a day to be exact) is meat.
I add the veggies for fiber, and I just like them!
Remember, if you're counting macros, Carbs minus fiber are your net carbs.
Add extra fiber to as many of your meals as possible. Some studies even show that adding fiber with fruits (because they're high in carbs), will help digest the fruit differently, counteracting many of the carbohydrates.
(I add Arbonne fiber supplement or Benefiber to my morning protein shakes each day)
Shown here also, is my digital food scale. From Amazon. Etekcity brand. I love it. I use it everyday. Make sure to measure! Whether you're counting macros, or just logging food, or trying to be healthier - one of the biggest mistakes is to not measure, you think you're eating more or less and then the calories, macros, health benefits are not on point with what you ACTUALLY ate.
Enough of my food tracking rant. (I'm sure I'll do it again later). This meal prep was also salmon - cooked on the stove with garlic, coconut oil, and Morton's Nature's Seasoning. The New York strip steak (that I got on sale at Walmart) was marinated with McCormick's Grill Mates marinade single use bag then grilled on my awesome Traeger.
