Ignoring "Roles", "Claims" and "Logins" when serializing an ApplicationUser / IdentityUser

ApplicationUser.cs

using System;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace Project.Models
{
	[MetadataType(typeof (ApplicationUserMetaData))]
	public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
	{
		// ...

		#region overrides

		public override string Email { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override bool EmailConfirmed { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override bool TwoFactorEnabled { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override string PhoneNumber { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override bool PhoneNumberConfirmed { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override string PasswordHash { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override string SecurityStamp { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override bool LockoutEnabled { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override DateTime? LockoutEndDateUtc { get; set; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public override int AccessFailedCount { get; set; }

		#endregion
	}
}

ApplicationUserMetaData.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

namespace Project.Models
{
	public class ApplicationUserMetaData
	{

		[JsonIgnore]
		public ICollection<IdentityUserClaim> Claims { get; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public ICollection<IdentityUserLogin> Logins { get; }

		[JsonIgnore]
		public ICollection<IdentityUserRole> Roles { get; }

	}
}
