If you’re looking to incorporate more veggies into your diet, I’ve got three tried-and-true tips that will level up your veggie game. From citrus and herbs to tantalizing seasonings and cooking methods, you’ll be amazed at how these simple additions enhance the flavors of your favorite greens. 

Elevate Your Veggie Game! 

Tip #1: Citrus & Herbs – A Burst of Freshness: Elevate your veggies with a drizzle of citrusy goodness! Whether it’s lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice, citrus adds brightness and enhances the natural flavors of your greens. And for that extra touch of herbal delight, sprinkle fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, dill, basil, thyme, or rosemary.

Tip #2: Seasonings – Complexity Meets Simplicity: Salt and pepper are veggie classics, but why stop there? Embrace complexity with seasonings like turmeric, cumin, garlic, or paprika – they will truly step up your veggie flavor game! It’s all about the balance of simplicity and boldness, creating a delightful symphony of tastes and aromas.

Tip #3: Roast, Grill, or Sauté – Unleash the Flavor: Veggies are delicious raw or steamed, but let’s take them to new heights! Roasting, grilling, or sautéing brings out the best in your greens, intensifying their flavors and adding a delightful touch of char and smokiness. 

Now that you’ve got the main idea you’re going to love exploring some of these tips in this dish! It’s packed with flavor, the cauliflower has the perfect amount of crisp and it smells as incredible as it tastes!

Let’s get cooking!
