I love Trader Joe’s. I can find so many tasty and healthy items at such great prices. They are certainly my go to store when I need to make something super quick and not feel quite so guilty about it. The frozen foods section has great meals when I don’t even have time to make something quickly, rather I only have time to throw something in the microwave or toaster.
This meal is something I can ‘claim’ that I have prepared, yet it is super simple. I have used Trader Joe’s Thai Green Curry Simmer Sauce as a topper for roasted vegetables. The green curry sauce has great flavors such as: coconut, lemongrass, cilantro, and peppers. You can use any vegetables you like, and you don’t really have to roast them. You could steam them… or you could pull a bag of frozen veggies out of the freezer and thaw them. I served mine over rice, but you could just serve the veggies on their own with the sauce, as a side dish. Keep in mind that this sauce is a little spicy. I am a bit of a wimp when it comes to heat though, so If I can handle it, I think anyone could… except, maybe, for small children that don’t do spicy.
Lay vegetables of choice on a cookie sheet, lined with tin foil. Toss all with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt.↓
