We already knew we liked Shailene Woodley, but here's reason number 7,832 to love her: She cooks up a mean pot roast.

The 22-year-old The Fault in Our Stars actress graces the latest cover of Women's Health magazine, and she opened up about her diet, including her favorite dish to cook up in the kitchen: "Any sort of pot roast. In a ceramic enamel pot.  You  just can't go wrong with the flavors. That's always my go-to," she said.

But judging by Shailene's magazine cover, where she wears an ab-baring fitted tankini and black bikini bottoms, you'd never know she has an affinity for pot roast.

When asked about her proudest physical feature, Shailene said, "I'm really proud of my ability to be fit or stay fit and honor my body in that way…When I feel fit and when I feel strong, I feel like I can empower and fight back."

Ask for her dream role? Shailene has one particular icon that she'd love to play in a movie: Stevie Nicks. "She's just such a fascinating woman who's lived such a life and is still living such a life. Her music was really profound for me in my life. Yeah I think it'd be an adventure to play Stevie Nicks."

If Shailene does end up starring in a Stevie Nicks biopic, we'll be there opening night.
