Organic, Real Food on a Budget – Roasted Vegetables

8 shares
  • Share
  • Tweet

We just had the most amazing week at Black Mountain Ranch in Colorado and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! But first, another Organic, Real Food on a budget tip. As soon as we got home, our CSA box was waiting for us. We got all the organic fruit and vegetables in the photo above for just $20! If you’re not familiar with a CSA, it’s Community Supported Agriculture. Groups of people get together to support nearby farms by agreeing to regularly purchase their produce.

Each week, I get a box of fresh, all organic produce for a fraction of what I’d pay at the store. My produce box also exposes me to vegetables I might not otherwise buy. My favorite way to prepare some of those mystery vegetables is roasting them. Roasting brings out the sweetness in the vegetables – a sure-fire way to get your family to eat them, too.

Think of my recipe as an outline. Use any combination of vegetables you like. And remember, it’s good to use a nice portion of butter when eating vegetables to ensure maximum assimilation of minerals and nutrients. I’ll be back soon with stories from the ranch!

Serves: Serves 4 as a side dish

Roasted Vegetables

Some of my favorite vegetables to roast include: broccoli, cauliflower, corn, onions, zucchini, potatoes, and carrots.

    I love vegetables!!!! you paid a nice price for that. Here in Spain, it's a little bit more expensive, but anyway I use to buy them, flavours are really better than the supermarket ones.

    I did something similar yesterday for my dad's birthday. A ton of great veggies from the farmer's market were a dinner feast, since he eats mostly vegan. Great inspiration!

    I love hearing about others csa's. We actually don't have a fruit and veggie csa in town(but I've signed up for a grain csa :D) so I'm always curious to see what other people get. I will be so excited if we ever get one going here. We love roasting our veggies too. Even veggies my husband wont eat, he enjoyed when they're roasted :)

    I'm also part of an organic CSA and we get a huge box full for $20--I love it! My family loves roasted veggies, too. They're a staple around here.

    I love your blog, love your recipes and ideas. I too have been looking to go to Black Mountain Ranch and would LOVE nothing more than to hear about your experience. We have been researching dude ranches for a while and this was one of our top picks but I have never met anyone who went there. Can't wait to hear all about it! Thanks for sharing. Elayne

    Roasting vegetables was the way I convinced my youngest son to eat them - now he eats every vegetable thanks to the power of roasting!

    I really need to look into a CSA in my area. There hasn't been one, though I've heard talks of one but it's a bit of a hike for pick up. I have CSA envy!!
