Cottage cheese, an underappreciated protein, adds the punch in this vegetarian recipe. One cup of low-fat cottage cheese provides 163 calories, 28g of protein, and is an excellent source of riboflavin, vitamin B12, and selenium, and is a good source of calcium—all needed for healthy bones and body.

Place halves with cut sides up, and roast until fork tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Meanwhile, place onions in a medium pan, and add a small amount of water, so that onions are just covered.
