I love cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, green beans, and cabbage. I also like mashed swede or celeriac instead of potatoes. I hate sweetcorn.

Sprouts are nice but only if cooked with bacon and cream!

[julieclarke]

Can I have sweet potatoes ?

 

[Lakeslover]

They are similar in carbs to potatoes.

Have you tried butternut squash? It can be cut into shapes like chips and roasted. Tastes a bit like sweet potato but lower in carbs. You can buy it in Tesco.

Ok thanks

Sprouts are lovely boiled until al dente, with salt and pepper.

 

[julieclarke]

Ok

I'm a big sprout fan, but I'm lucky enough to be able to grow my own. Baby sprouts cooked as soon as they are picked are a very different prospect to the overboiled "school sprouts" which put many people off them for life when given to them as children.

I had boiled eggs and mashed and baked beans
