Season your veggie snacks
Plain veggies don't have to be boring. The right seasoning turns a bowl of raw or cooked veggies into something you'll actually crave. My favorite flavor-makers:
- Sea salt and pepper
- Gomasio, a toasted sesame and sea salt sprinkle
- Cayenne pepper or cumin for warmth
- Cinnamon on carrots, beets or sweet potatoes
- A touch of toasted sesame oil: about 1/2 teaspoon for 1 to 2 cups of veggies (so delicious)
Try this: toss steamed broccoli with a little sesame oil and gomasio, or sprinkle cucumber slices with sea salt and a pinch of cayenne.
