What is the easiest and healthiest way to cook vegetables?

The best way to cook fresh or even frozen vegetables is steaming, followed by sautéing. Please remember that they need to be steamed for only few min (between 3 to 5 min) depending on the vegetable.

The following are the most common types of seasonings:

• Herbs: Fresh are best, but dried herbs certainly have their place.
• The most popular are basil, oregano, marjoram, sage, and dill, but there are many others from which to choose.
• Spices: Spices are most often enjoyed dried, and best if ground just before use.
• The most common spices found in recipes include garlic and ginger (both fresh and dried), curry/turmeric, mustard and celery seeds, and black, white, and red peppers.
• Citrus: Add lemon juice or zest to vegetables like broccoli, green beans, and summer squash. You can also add lemon juice to the steaming water. Orange and grapefruit can also add a pleasant zing.
• Vinegars: Balsamic, red wine, or other infused vinegars are most often enjoyed with raw vegetables, but are also excellent additions to steamed vegetables – especially greens.
• Olive and nut and seed oils: After steaming, toss or sauté vegetables in herbs, spices, and/or oils. The most popular oils for these are olive and coconut.
• Low-sodium broth/stock: Natural, low-sodium broths are basically combinations of dried vegetables and herbs which together create a classic seasoning for steamed vegetables.You can make your own home made broth: http://paleospirit.com/2011/how-to-make-homemade-chicken-stock-in-five-minutes/
