With the average person eating 6,000 calories on Christmas Day here are a few suggestions for healthier vegetables.
POTATOES - Cut into large chunks for roasting - big spuds absorb less fat! Use a little sunflower oil or spray oil instead of goose fat or lard. You will still get the golden crispness but save on fat.
PARSNIPS - Par boil for 10 mins then put in a bowl. Add black pepper and a drizzle of honey to very lightly just coat. Then cook on parchment paper on a baking tray in a hot oven - about 20 mins. No need to add fat.
SPROUTS - Serve with chestnuts instead of crispy bacon bits. Chestnuts are high in protein, low in fat and contain a fraction of the salt.
CARROTS - Do not need butter! Simmer in a little fresh orange juice instead of water & grate orange zest over to serve.
Serve a wonderful selection of vegetables for a great range of nutrients!
Happy Eating!
