Vegetables are not only tasty, but also very healthy. They are fried, boiled, steamed, baked, eaten raw. It is clear that the maximum benefit is in fresh foods, but not all vegetables can be consumed in their original form.

Vegetables baked in the oven in large pieces are an ideal compromise between taste, benefits and labor costs.
