WHILE THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO COOK ZUCCHINI, PAN-FRYING IS SUPER EFFICIENT, TAKING LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AND MAKING THEM BROWN ON THE OUTSIDE WHILE RETAINING THEIR TENDERNESS ON THE INSIDE.
Now, take a minute to reflect on how you usually feel after a fry-up. Do you unbutton your jeans to make room for a bloated belly? Does your stomach make gurgling noises? Does your skin feel oilier than usual?
While I’m all for the old-school fry-up, I’m letting you in on a bit of a secret: it’s possible to create a healthy and delicious fry-up made of plants.
Exciting? I thought so, too! Here’s a list of my favourite foods to include in your next fry-up: the plant-based edition.
ZUCCHINI
Zucchinis are rich in antioxidants, fibre and nutrients. They contribute to a healthy digestive system and can help with managing blood sugar levels. They’re also relatively low in calories, so they’re an ideal addition to any weightloss or maintenance diet.
While there are many ways to cook zucchini, pan-frying is super efficient, taking less than 10 minutes and making them brown on the outside while retaining their tenderness on the inside.
CAPSICUM
Capsicums contain antioxidants called carotenoids, which reduce inflammation and are crucial for glowing skin. Capsicum is also an excellent source of immune-boosting vitamin C.
