The best way to prepare your vegetables is to steam them, sauté them in olive oil or coconut oil, roast them with herbs and spices, or eat them raw. Steaming vegetables helps retain their nutrients and vitamins while also preserving the flavor and texture of the vegetable. Sautéing vegetables can add a nice crunchy texture as well as providing additional flavors. Roasting vegetables with herbs and spices adds depth of flavor and makes them more nutrient-dense. Lastly, eating vegetables raw can be a great way to get all the benefits from the vegetable without adding any extra calories or fat.
