Healthier French Fries

I love both regular french fries and sweet potato fries, so I created this recipe for healthier french fries to make both at the same time without deep frying.

I used my Breville Oven which has an air fryer, but if you don’t have an air fryer you can use a roasting pan with a wire rack in it. Convection heat is best because it gives the fries more even crispness.

The trick is to start at a lower heat to cook the potatoes, then end on a higher heat to crisp up the outside. Continue reading “Healthier French Fries”

Pasta with Roasted Vegetables

Serves: 2 people + leftovers
Hands-on time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min

I adapted this recipe for pasta with roasted vegetables from a similar one I found on the Forks Over Knives website, which uses summer veggies. Since it’s winter I wanted to use winter veggies, so I swapped out the zucchini and eggplant for brussels sprouts and carrots.  Their recipe doesn’t use any oil, but I like the texture of pasta better when it has a little oil on it. Gluten-free pasta in particular tastes a bit pasty without oil. I also reduced the quantity to serve 2 people, so you’ll want to increase it if you have more mouths to feed.

Quick Sautéed Kale and Carrots

This is the easiest way (IMO) to sauté kale so it’s not completely boring. Since kale can be somewhat bitter we add sweet veggies like carrots and onions to balance the flavors. Feel free to swap the carrots with parsnips, yellow or red bell peppers, or even red cabbage if you like.

Serves: 2 people with a bit left over
Hand on time: 10 minutes
Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive or coconut oil
  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 medium to large carrot
  • 1/4 C chopped onion (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Thai Chickpea Stew Over Brown Rice (Vegan)

One night I was making Dirty Rice and was suddenly inspired to make it into a complete meatless meal by adding chickpeas.  I also changed the cooking method and added a packet of thai curry paste.  Oh wow thank you to the divine being that inspired me because this was the best meal I’ve manifested in a while.

It’s wonderful as a main course for a vegan diet.  If you’re not vegan I recommend sprinkling with some crumbled feta cheese (see condiments). If you like meat you can add a cup or so of cubed chicken with the garlic in step 4 and saute for 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp coconut oil
1 large carrot
1 medium yellow onion
1 stalk celery (optional)
3/4 C chopped red cabbage
1-14 oz can chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), drained
2 C fresh broccoli Continue reading “Thai Chickpea Stew Over Brown Rice (Vegan)”
