Choosing & preparing vegetables
How to choose
Shop seasonally for the best flavour and price; look for firm, unblemished produce with vivid colour. Heavier-feeling vegetables are usually fresher and juicier.
Prep & storage
Cut pieces to a uniform size so they cook evenly. High-heat roasting and quick stir-frying preserve more texture and nutrients than long boiling.
Nutrition
A low-calorie, high-fibre source of vitamins A and C, potassium and antioxidants — aim for a range of colours on the plate.
Classic flavour partners: garlic, olive oil, lemon, chilli, herbs, parmesan
