Steamed Vegetables


I like to alternate these vegetables in my steamer pot or you can use an electric food steamer. Steam for 20 minutes or until tender.

Quarter cut these vegetables.

2 Potatoes, yams or sweet potatoes

1 Acorn squash, spaghetti squash or butternut squash

1 Rutabaga or red beet

1 Cup Baby carrots

1 Cup Celery

1 Green pepper or red pepper

1 Cup Broccoli or cauliflower

1/2 Green Cabbage or red cabbage

Top off with some leafy greens, like collard, mustard greens or spinach. 

You can also add 3 or 4 eggs to the bottom of the pot for poached eggs.

Place your choice of vegetables on a plate and add a little bit of butter and Bragg Liquid Aminos (or salt and pepper) for taste. And if you want add some shredded cheese. You can then serve with your choice of meat.

This is my very favorite way to eat vegetables, it tastes so good and it is very healthy.

  1. This looks lovely! I think steam cooking them is likely to keep the nutrients intact and not destroy them. Ive used shredded cheddar cheese in a similar recipe and it turned out delicious. A real joy to eat. Thank you for sharing.
