Green beans and onions are lightly sautéed in only 1 tablespoon of oil.

This recipe sings of the fall and early winter harvest. Take advantage of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have. I like a bite to the vegetables, so I drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables while they are still hot.
This side dish is quite affordable: about 60 cents a serving for the vegetables!

A delicious mix of crunchy green tomatoes and cucumbers--cumatoes!

Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, but not everyone agrees with me. To convert people, I like to serve this simple recipe. Garlic sauteed in olive oil offers a sweet richness, and the lemon juice offers a nice tang.
If you are using fresh broccoli, peel the stalks and dice them before adding to the cooking water.

This colorful low-sodium cholesterol-free vegetable baked dish is prepared without any added fat.

This is a great basic to always have on hand! Instead of spending money on expensive, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, make your own.

My mom's famous vegan eggplant parmesean. Simple and delicious! Non-vegans will just assume you're using a very low-fat mozzarella. Add chilis to your tomato sauce if you like some spice. You can also use canned tomato sauce and pre-packaged breadcrumbs if you are short on time. Just make sure to take the differences in the nutritional information into account!

Because this dish contains no beaten egg whites, it is not a true soufflé the name is derived from its light airy texture. Similar in color and flavor to sweet potato casserole, it pairs well with ham or turkey.

This makes a nice side dish for any broiled or grilled fish, especially white flakey fish like orange roughy or cod.
