Sweet Potatoe Seeds
Sweet Potatoe Seeds
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed, sliced into ⅛-inch thick slices
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, lightly crushed in food processor
¼cup grapeseed oil
¼teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon chives, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
A pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss to coat sweet potato slices. Lay sweet potato
slices on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, turning slices over halfway through. Remove promptly to avoid
burning. Let cool and serve by themselves or with Avocado Hummus (here).
Crunchy and satisfying, pumpkin seeds, sometimes called “pepitas,” are much more than just snacks. They
are high in zinc, which is a natural protector against bone loss, contain almost your whole daily requirement of
magnesium, promote prostate health, reduce inflammation, help lower LDL cholesterol, and prevent kidney
stones. These green seeds also contain the powerful antioxidant L-cysteine, which can help protect your body
from the harmful effects of pollution, chemicals, radiation, alcohol, and smoke. This naturally occurring amino
acid may also help boost the immune system, defend against heart disease, build muscle, and minimize fat
buildup.
GLUTEN-FREE OLIVE BREAD
BENEFITS: ANTI-INFLAMMATION
A colleague of mine from Spain, a practicing doctor for more than thirty years, shared
this recipe with me. He adapted this bread recipe to accommodate his gluten-sensitive
patients. Multiple kinds of flour are used, which gives you a much more diverse
nutritional profile than just wheat. Olives have excellent benefits of their own,
including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This is an absolutely delicious
bread that would be welcome at any table. The bread can also be made in a bread
machine. Just prepare the dough as below and follow the manufacturer’s instructions
with your machine.
