Vegetable Dishes for the Holidays

Do you get enough vegetables in your diet? If you’ve been thinking about increasing the 
amount of veggies that you eat, the holiday time might be an excellent way to get you 
started on some really healthy habits that you can take with you into the new year. 
Information and recipes are now widely available online, and they can show you how to 
prepare some very tasty dishes so that you can make some amazing and delicious 
vegetable dishes for the holidays. 

Brussels Sprout Coleslaw

These tiny cabbages might not always make the list of people’s favorite veggie lists, but 
they have an unexpectedly tasty punch that sits in just the right place for the taste buds. 
The main part of the dish is the shredded, or thinly sliced sprouts, followed by parmesan 
cheese, sliced almonds, and you have the option of adding dried fruits like berries or 
raisins. The dressing most associated with this slaw is honey mustard, which you can 
buy or make yourself, but you can actually use an oil and vinegar dressing as well. 

Broccoli and Asparagus BBQ

Sometimes simple is best. When it comes to veggie dishes, a solid simple and tasty 
dish can send your main course into the highest levels of praise. One such side dish is 
BBQ broccoli and asparagus. All you need is one cup of broccoli and about 10 - 14 
asparagus stalks. Mince about a teaspoon of garlic and mix it with about 2 tablespoons 
of oil. Toss the broccoli and asparagus in the oil and garlic mixture, and lightly dust the 
vegetables with black pepper, sea salt, cardamom, nutmeg, clove and fennel powders, 
and place over a high heat on a grill, or in a pan on the stove. 
 
Baked Eggplant Parmesan 

Eggplant Parmesan has become a favorite for people who are looking to eat less, or no 
meat and still have a main course that everyone can enjoy. This plant has its origins in 
Asia and north Africa, and has been widely known for its edible attributes. There are 
many different recipes available, but one thing that always had to be observed is the 
process of soaking the eggplant slices in salt water to reduce its bitter flavor. Once 
prepared, this resilient dish can be frozen so that you can reheat it and get it ready to be 
served up to 2 weeks later!
