BEFORE & AFTER: Baked Potato Wedges
Want to make your potato wedges healthier?
All you need is some Magic Spice!
Potato Magic
Potatoes are so comforting!
Let's take a recipe that's quite healthy -- of the non-fried denomination. Here's the ingredient list from Ina Garten's recipe. Warm recommendation: Barefoot Contessa's recipes are almost foolproof, and she really has tried them many times before committing them to print.
- 4 large baking potatoes, unpeeled
- 4 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
For the magic spice version we reduce the salt, and add Ayala's Magic Spice like we mean it.
- 4 large baking potatoes, unpeeled
- 4 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
- 5 tablespoons Ayala's Magic Spice
The Magic Spiced potatoes taste great, and are dramatically more nutritious:
Roasted potatoes WITHOUT magic spice
Roasted potatoes WITH magic spice
The nutrition bump with Ayala's Magic Spice
Iron: Up by 200%.
Protein: Up by 150% (all added protein is complete protein -- which contains all essential amino acids).
This dish contains almost the entire daily need of Thiamin, Riboflavin, B6, It is now a good Source of Vitamin A -- which it had none of before.
It contains 20% of daily need of B12.
Selenium: 6% of daily need.
And because it's now deeply flavored, we needed less salt, and sodium is reduced to 1/5 of the original recipe.
