Hey everyone, it’s Danielle from Busy Mom’s Helper! If you’re like me, you’ve been trying to eat healthier once the holiday season passed. Since I’m a HUGE fan of chocolate and sugary desserts, it’s a bit of a challenge, so I need to find tasty things to keep me happy and on track. Today I’m sharing one of my new favorite vegetable side dish recipes! I’m really a fruit girl at heart, so I do so much better at a balanced diet when I things like these yummy Garlic & Parmesan Baked Vegetables!
You can mix and match which vegetables you use in this recipe based on what you like best or what’s on sale. For this batch I used string beans, zucchini and carrots. Afterwards I included tomatoes (I know, a fruit, but whatever) and it really added to the flavor!
One of the best things about this recipe is that it goes with practically ANYTHING! Serve it along side a casserole or roast, perhaps with a grilled chicken or even pizza. The flexibility makes it ideal for any menu plan – and since it’s super quick and easy to make, it can save you tons of time in the kitchen. You’re welcome 🙂
