Health Tip: Dig Into More Flavorful Foods

By on April 25, 2016

Healthier food doesn’t have to taste like cardboard.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these suggestions to keep food healthy while boosting its flavor:

  • Give veggies a sweeter, smokier flavor by brushing them lightly with oil and a sprinkle of herbs, then roasting in the oven at 450 degrees.
  • Using a bit of oil, slowly caramelize onions in a pan over low heat. Use the sweet, rich sauce over a meat or poultry dish.
  • Add to your food a variety of colorful peppers or hot pepper sauce, citrus juice, pomegranate seeds or herbs such as cilantro.
  • Opt for healthier condiments, such as fresh salsa, tapenade, chutney, horseradish, mustard, bean puree or wasabi.
