Roasted Potatoes and Red Peppers

 

Roasting vegetables is a great way to reduce unnecessary fats and calories, but Chef Bonnie Moore has taken this recipe to another healthier level. Her makeover has cut the dish's calories by 147, reduced its fat by two-thirds (10 grams less), and its saturated fat by one and one-half grams.

Chef Moore was able to make these changes by:

  • Substituting Yukon Gold potatoes for Russet potatoes for moister potatoes with less fat
  • Reducing the serving size by using one and one-half pounds of potatoes instead of two and one-half pounds
  • Reducing the olive oil to 2 tablespoons

2 tablespoons fresh marjoram, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried
