Speaking of revolutionary…
YOU ONLY NEED 4 INGREDIENTS👇🏻
- Potatoes (any kind)
- Olive oil
- Spice mix
- Eggs (See recipe card for other protein.)
- Okay and one more optional ingredient – A topping of your choice (cheese or herbs will do!)
We’ve used a curry spice mix to season the potatoes, but you can literally use any spice mix you prefer. SPICES are life! Oh wait, I mean variety is the spice of life! 😉
Let’s chat about curry spice and what gives it that GOLDEN hue: turmeric!
What are the benefits of turmeric in curry spices?
Turmeric contains an active compound called curcumin. This compound is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory agents and has antioxidant effects. These antioxidants can help fight free radicals that build up oxidative damage to our muscles when we exercise or are stressed.
We need a powerful antioxidant to help combat and protect our system. Turmeric not only neutralizes free radicals on its own, it also helps to increase the body’s own antioxidant enzymes.
Now, pair that with the plant antioxidants in potatoes, more antioxidants found in the amino acids of an egg yolk, and this meal becomes a powerhouse of antioxidants in foil packs. Not to mention macro balanced with healthy fats, real food carbs, and protein!
