Steamed or roasted vegetables with Flaxseed Oil Recipe

Date Posted:5 November 2025 

Steamed or roasted vegetables finished with a drizzle of Flaxseed Oil are a simple yet flavourful side dish.

The vegetables keep their natural sweetness and tender-crisp bite, while the flaxseed oil lends a mild nutty, earthy flavor.

Flaxseed Oil is naturally packed with omega-3 fatty acids and lignans, known to support heart health, fight inflammation, and promote overall well-being. Adding it after cooking preserves its delicate nutrients, giving your vegetables both a wholesome boost and a modern twist.

Whether served with grilled meats, fresh fish, or as part of a plant-based spread, this dish strikes the perfect balance of nourishment and flavor.
