My Favourite Fall Season Vegetable!

I know its definitely fall/autumn season when I see Brussels Sprouts. I'm still waiting for the local farmers market to get some in, so I purchased some from our local grocery store yesterday. I love Brussels Sprouts! One simple way of preparing them is by coating them in olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper, then roasting them for around 40-45min, until dark and almost burnt, but tender once you stick your fork in. Tastes great. You can store them in the refrigerator for a few days or so and they will still taste fresh.

Brussels Sprouts are full of essential nutrients such as vitamin C,vitamin A, vitamin B6. As well as having a good amount of fiber, potassium and manganese.
Definitely a vegetable I enjoy eating at this time of the year!

Eggplant!

I picked up nice bright purple colored Eggplant from the farmers market today. I enjoy eating them a lot at this time of the year.
I tend to bake my eggplants along with some everyday seasoning and garlic powder.
They are in season now so I make the most of it and grab some while I can.

Egg plants contain a good amount of fibre, minerals and vitamins. But also being high in antioxidants, eggplants can also help prevent cancer and lower cholesterol.
It's worth purchasing some now while in season if you if wanna try it!
