MEAL PREP STEAMED VEGETABLES

When it comes to prepping for the week ahead, we love cooking off lots of veggies so we can reach for them instead of something less healthy in the scramble of making a weeknight meal. Blanching a vegetable in boiling water and then plunging it in an ice bath is great when you're making just one kind. But for a large-scale production, our go-to method is steaming. You can use the same water for multiple batches, steaming one vegetable after the next. The result: a rainbow of perfectly cooked vegetables at the ready for grain bowls, pastas, salads, frittatas and more.

  • Fill a large pot with 2 inches of water. Set a collapsible steamer basket insert into the pot, then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Alternatively, use a pasta pot with the steamer insert.

  • Add the carrot slices, cover and cook until tender yet still crisp, 4 minutes. Carefully remove from the pot, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Add the sweet potatoes, cover and cook until soft and yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the pot, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Add the butternut squash, cover and cook until soft and yielding when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the pot, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.

12 ounces cauliflower florets (from 1 medium crown; about 2 cups)
12 ounces carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices (from about 3 large carrots; about 2 cups)
12 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (from about 2 sweet potatoes; about 2 1/4 cups)

HEALTHY STEAMED VEGETABLES

This is the healthiest way you can eat vegetables. When served raw, if not chewed thoroughly, vegetables can cause polyps to form on the inner tract of the colon. If boiled or canned, the vitamins are diminished. Proper steaming of your vegetables leaves the vitamins and minerals intact, while also saving your tummy lots of trouble. It's delicious, too! Multiply this recipe by the number of adult servings you need...it's that easy! :) You can use any variety of vegetables in season, or not...even frozen vegetables. One cup [cooked weight] is one serving.
