Some of my favourite appetizers are those that combine both sweet and savoury. This baked Pear and Brie Crostini does exactly that!

This is a great recipe to add whatever extra vegetables you have left in your fridge. I had a small amount of broccoli that needed to be used up, so added it in. A filling, nutritious meat-free meal that stars healthy root veggies!

Jicama is a root vegetable that is low in calories and high in fiber and water. It is slightly sweet, like a cross between an apple, water chestnut and pear. They make great, low carb veggie fries like these simple ones!
