Bump the AC and eat a bunch of vegetables for dinner.
To make it, you take a vegetable or an assortment of vegetables and you roast them with olive oil and salt in the oven until they're crispy, and kind of charred in some places. Meanwhile, you spread a thin layer of ricotta on a plate. When your vegetables are done, you plop them on top of the ricotta and top it all off with a hearty squeeze of lemon juice or, if you're fancy, the good balsamic vinegar. Maybe you drizzle on some olive oil.
You definitely give the whole thing a sprinkle of flaky salt.First, this kind of dish highlights one of the central beauties of making dinner for one—when you eat alone you get to eat vegetables as a meal. No one's there to demand a balanced protein + carb + vegetable on the side plate. No longer does the vegetable have to be always-a-bridesmaid, the Kelly Rowland to the protein's Beyonce or Garfunkel to the carbs' Simon.
