Recipe via Nutrition Facts – Baked Onion Rings Recipe Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Age Cookbook Onion rings were a favorite of mine growing up, but I thankfully (and heartfully) gave up my taste for those greasy oily, deep-fried, fatty monstrosities. The onion rings in this recipe come out pretty close to perfection. Try them with Black Bean Burgers and the Ranch Dressing from the How Not to Die Cookbook. COURSE: Appetizer, Side Dish DIFFICULTY: Moderate SERVINGS: 4 Ingredients ▢ 1 large red onion cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices ▢ ⅔ cup oat flour ▢ ¼ cup chickpea flour ▢ 1 cup Almond Milk ▢ 1 teaspoon rice vinegar ▢ ⅓ cup cornmeal ▢ ¾ cup bread crumbs 100% whole-grain salt-free ▢ ⅓ cup nutritional yeast ▢ 2 tablespoons Savory Spice Blend ▢ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Instructions Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. Separate the onion slices into rings. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. In a shallow bowl, combine the oat flour, chickpea flour, Almond Milk, and vinegar. Stir to blend well. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the cornmeal, bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, Savory Spice Blend, and paprika. Mix well. In a row, line up the bowls of onion rings, batter, breading mixture, and the prepared baking sheet. Dip an onion ring into the batter, coating it all over. Transfer the onion ring to the breading, tossing to coat. Use a clean, dry hand to sprinkle the breading onto the onion as needed. Place the coated onion ring on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients, arranging the rings in a single layer. Use a second sheet if needed. You should have enough batter and breading for about 20 onion rings. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and carefully turn rings over. Bake for about 10 minutes longer, or until crisp and nicely browned. Serve hot. To read the original article click here.

Recipe via Nutrition Facts – Vegetable Stacks with Tomato–Red Pepper Coulis Recipe Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Age Cookbook This dish takes a little extra time to assemble, but the bit of effort is so very worth it. It’s actually a quite simple dish to make and looks very fancy when plated. Perfect for when you want to impress your dining companion! COURSE: Main Course DIFFICULTY: Moderate SERVINGS: 4 Ingredients ▢ 1 large eggplant trimmed and into 4 rounds about 1/2-inch thick ▢ 1 large red onion cut into 4 slices about 1/2-inch thick ▢ 1 orange or yellow bell pepper sides cut vertically to make 4 square pieces ▢ 4 large portobello mushroom caps gills removed ▢ 1-2 large ripe tomatoes cut into 4 slices about 1/2-inch thick ▢ 3 tablespoons red onion minced ▢ 2 plum tomatoes chopped ▢ 2 roasted red bell peppers homemade or store-bought ▢ 1 teaspoon white miso paste ▢ 1 teaspoon dried basil ▢ ½ teaspoon dried thyme ▢ 1 ¼ inch turmeric, grated (or 1/4 teaspoon ground) ▢ black pepper to taste ▢ fresh parsley for garnish Instructions Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220°C) Line two large baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on one of the prepared baking sheets. Bake the eggplant until soft, turning once, about 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set aside to cool; then remove the eggplant from the pan. Meanwhile, on the second prepared baking sheet, arrange the onion slices in a single layer and bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Turn over the onion slices, place the bell pepper pieces on the same baking sheet as the onion, and roast until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes longer. Set aside to cool. Arrange the mushroom caps, gill side up, on the baking sheet from which the eggplant has been removed. Roast until softened, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350ºF (180°C). Assemble the roasted vegetables in stacks: To begin, leave the four mushroom caps, gill side up, on their baking sheet. Top each cap with a slice of eggplant, followed by a slice of onion, then a bell pepper slice, topped with a slice of tomato. Cover the baking sheet and bake until the vegetables are hot, about 20 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, make the sauce: In a skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of water (45 ml) over medium heat and add the minced onion. Cover and cook for 4 minutes, or until soft. Stir in the plum tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, miso, basil, thyme, turmeric, and black pepper to taste. Cover and cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to a food processor and purée the sauce until smooth. Keep warm over low heat until ready to use. When the stacks are ready, use a metal spatula to carefully remove them from the baking dish. Place one stack in the center of each of four dinner plates. Top and surround each stack with the sauce and parsley garnish, and serve hot. TIP: For a more attractive dish, cut the stackable vegetables slices so they are approximately the same size. Reserve the remaining pieces of the vegetables for another use To read the original article click here.

Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork-tender, then drain and return to the pot. Stir in the onion powder and black pepper and mash until smooth. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400F. Heat 1/4 cup of water in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and lower the heat to low. Stir in the corn, peas, and cooked lima beans. Cook until the vegetables are tender and any liquid is absorbed, 3-5 minutes. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of the lentils, then transfer the vegetable mixture to a shallow baking dish and set aside. Heat the Light Vegetable Broth in the same large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, miso paste, and thyme and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a blender or food processor, add the remaining 1/2 cup of lentils, and blend until smooth. If the gravy is too thick, blend in up to 1/2 cup of additional broth. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Pour the gravy over the vegetable mixture, stirring to combine. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes on top, smoothing to cover the surface. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling. Serve hot. To read the original article click here.

Korean Soy Milk Noodles Recipe

The AHA! Team — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 05:44:24 +0000

Recipe by: Christina Ng- East Meets Kitchen via Nutrition Facts – Korean Soy Milk Noodles Recipe “Kongguksu,” Korean Soy Milk Noodles, combines a homemade soy broth with whole-grain buckwheat noodles and vegetables. The broth is usually served cold but can be enjoyed warm if desired. Feel free to top the dish with any additional vegetables of choice. Soybeans are high in fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, protein, and zinc. Certain gut bacteria can supercharge the benefits of soy foods, resulting in even more bone protection, even better control of menopausal symptoms, and even lower prostate cancer risk. How can we foster the growth of these good bacteria? Watch our video “How to Convert Into an Equol Producer” to find out. COURSE: Main Course SERVINGS: 2 Ingredients ▢ ½ cup dried soybeans, soaked overnight ▢ 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds ▢ 2 tablespoons raw pine nuts ▢ 1 teaspoon miso paste, or to taste ▢ 4 ounces buckwheat noodles, cooked ▢ 8-10 cherry tomatoes, halved ▢ ½ cucumber, cut into thin strips Instructions In a pot, boil the soybeans in two cups of water (0.5 liters) for 20 to 30 minutes, then drain. In a blender, combine the soybeans, sesame seeds, pine nuts, and miso paste with two cups of water and blend until smooth. Chill the broth, serve at room temperature, or heat it in a saucepan, as desired. Ladle the broth on top of prepared buckwheat noodles and top with the cherry tomatoes and cucumber strips.

Edamame Guacamole Recipe

The AHA! Team — Fri, 16 May 2025 05:38:10 +0000

Recipe by: Ayla Sadler via Dr. Axe – Pumpkin Blueberry Pancakes Recipe Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Die Cookbook Edamame has been a long-time favorite snack of mine. They’re so good I can eat a seemingly endless amount of them right from their pods. This recipe calls for them to be incorporated into a creative take on guacamole, which I love just as much as enjoying them au naturel. The problem with guacamole is that most people want to dip salted, deep-fried tortilla chips into it. Don’t do it! Skip the chip in favor of raw vegetables, such as carrots or bell pepper strips. Or, do as I do, and dip with steamed asparagus. COURSE: Appetizer, Snack DIFFICULTY: Easy SERVINGS: 6 Ingredients ▢ 1 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed ▢ 1 avocado ▢ 2 teaspoons lime juice ▢ 1 teaspoon Savory Spice Blend* ▢ 1 Roma tomato finely chopped ▢ 1 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped ▢ 1 tablespoon red onion minced ▢ 1 tablespoon jalapeño minced (optional) ▢ ground cumin to taste ▢ steamed asparagus or raw vegetables for dipping Instructions Cook the edamame in a saucepan of boiling water until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. In a food processor, combine the edamame, avocado, lime, Savory Spice Blend, and cumin, and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and fold in the tomato, cilantro, onion, and jalapeño (if using). Serve with vegetables for dipping. To read the original article click here.
