BAKED GREEN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
• Fill a saucepan with water, bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil the Brussels sprouts and broccoli for 2 minutes, until thawed. Add the asparagus, and boil for 3 more minutes, until the vegetables are hot, lightly cooked, and bright green.
• Drain the Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and asparagus, place into the prepared baking dish, and dot with butter. Stir to melt the butter, and mix in the spinach, garlic powder, black pepper, and bread crumbs.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes to heat the vegetables, remove from the oven, and stir in the Cheddar cheese. Return to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted, spinach is cooked, and casserole is hot.

ROASTED GREEN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and then cut in half. Place in a gallon resealable plastic bag along with the trimmed asparagus and green beans.
• Add in the olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Seal and toss to completely coat the vegetables. Release any extra air from the bag and store in the refrigerator, along with the Parmesan, until ready to roast.
• When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the vegetable mix from the bag and spread it onto a sheet pan. Roast until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 18 to 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.

GREEN GREEN SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Blanch the string beans in a large pot of boiling salted water for 1 minute only. Lift the beans from the water with a slotted spoon or sieve and immerse them in a bowl of ice water. Add the snap peas to the same boiling water and cook for 1 minute, until al dente, adding them to the ice water and the beans. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths diagonally and cook in the boiling water for 2 minutes, and add to the ice water. Cut the broccolini in half, boil for 1 minute, and add to the ice water. When all the vegetables in the water are cold, drain well.
• When ready to serve, heat the butter and oil in a very large saute pan or large pot. Saute the shallots over medium heat for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned. Add the drained vegetables to the shallots with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and toss. Cook just until the vegetables are heated through. Serve hot.

OVEN ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven (if using two sheets) or the center of the oven (if using one). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat two large, rimmed baking sheets with non-stick spray.
• Place the vegetables in a great big bowl (or you can toss them right on the two baking sheets, dividing the ingredients between each). Top with the oil and mustard. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat. Pay special attention to the broccoli florets and make sure they get an adequate amount of oil, as they are more prone to burning.
• Divide the vegetables evenly between the two sheets, spreading them into a single layer.
• Roast the vegetables at 400 degrees F for 25 to 35 minutes (or if you have the convection option, do a convection bake at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes). Toss the vegetables, rotate the pans 180 degrees, and switch the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks halfway through. The vegetables should be turning brown and crispy at their edges and tender inside (the cooking time may vary based on your oven). Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Enjoy hot or at room temperature, with additional salt and pepper to taste.

CHEESY GREEN VEG GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the cauliflower florets for 3 mins. Add the broccoli and cook for 2 mins more. Drain in a colander and leave to steam-dry.
• Tip the spinach into a large saucepan, add 2 tbsp water and cook with the lid on over a low heat for 3-4 mins until wilted, then tip into a sieve and press the excess moisture out of it with the back of a wooden spoon. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low heat until foaming, then stir in the flour to create a thick paste. Cook for 2 mins, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the milk in several additions until lump-free. Return to the heat and whisk until thickened. Whisk in the mustard, most of the cheese and the chives. Season to taste.
• Arrange the vegetables, including the cauliflower leaves, in a medium ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 25-30 mins or until golden and bubbling.
