Panko Roasted Vegetables
Thursday, May 7, 2015
Panko Roasted Vegetables is one of my favorite go-to diet foods, and I will explain why.
During the onset of the fresh vegetable season and usually summertime, I usually want to shed a few pounds but I get so sick of salads, I need a change so I roast vegetables.
A little secret, I will separate some with the crunchy topping for the family and omit the extra calories on mine, but you can choose how many calories you want to add to your vegetable-roasted medley.
I change the flavors with herbs, fresh zests from fruits and sometimes just some balsamic vinegar splashed on top after they're roasted, there is no wrong or right just improvise the recipe to your dietary needs.
Scroll down and check out these easy cooking methods, a printable recipe card at the end, and take advantage of all the substitutions and tips below.
