Why Your Skin Will Love This Recipe
This dinner is especially supportive for dry skin, though it benefits all skin types. The combination of roasted vegetables, plant protein, and healthy fats works together to deeply nourish the skin from the inside out.
Avocado and olive oil provide essential fatty acids and vitamin E — two key nutrients for strengthening the skin barrier and improving moisture retention. If your skin feels flaky, tight, or dull, these ingredients help replenish what your skin is missing.
Zucchini, tomatoes, and bell peppers offer hydrating antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene. These support collagen, help soften rough texture, and protect the skin from environmental dryness.
Black beans add plant-based zinc and B vitamins, which help with repair and resilience — especially important when skin feels dry, irritated, or depleted.
And the overall fiber-rich combination keeps digestion moving smoothly, which is essential for balanced hydration and that healthy, steady glow.
This is the kind of simple, everyday meal that supports long-term skin health — especially for anyone needing deeper hydration from the inside out.
