What's the healthiest way to prepare vegetables? The way that makes you eat them.
Today — The healthiest way to prepare vegetables varies based on personal preferences and nutritional goals. Dietitian Carlene Thomas emphasizes that the best vegetables are the ones you will actually eat, as aspirational shopping often results in wasted produce. Cooking methods do affect nutritional content, but it's not simply a matter of raw versus cooked. High-heat cooking can degrade nutrients, but cooking can also increase the bioavailability of certain nutrients like lycopene in tomatoes and beta-carotene in carrots. Steaming and microwaving are considered the most nutritious cooking methods due to short cooking times and no need for added fat. However, a small amount of fat can enhance flavor and nutrient absorption. Roasting can also be beneficial despite longer cook times, as it preserves some nutrients and enhances flavor through caramelization. Taste and enjoyment are important factors in incorporating more vegetables into one's diet. Two healthy recipes provided include Sautéed Green Beans and Twice-Baked Harissa Sweet Potatoes, both balancing flavor and nutritional value.
