EASY LOW FAT OVEN ROASTED PEPPERED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 220 C or 450°F.
• Wash and scrub your potatoes well - no need to peel them!
• Cut them into chunky wedges.
• Place in a ziplock bag or plastic container and add the olive oil & black pepper.
• Do NOT add the salt now as it encourages water!
• Shake the container or bag well - making sure every potato wedge has been covered in oil.
• Place peppered potatoes in a large and sturdy oven proof roasting tin - shake around to ensure they are in a single layer, more or less!
• Sprinkle on the sea salt and any herbs & spices you may be using.
• Give another good twist of ground black pepper over the potato wedges and roast in the oven for about 45 - 60 minutes or until crispy and brown!
• Sprinkle over any fresh herbs, if you are using them for a garnish or just serve "au natural" as a vegetable accompaniment.
• I often serve these in paper cornets for a light lunch or supper time snack with vinegar & sometimes, very naughty I KNOW, mayonnaise!

ROASTED POTATOES WITH CARROTS AND ONIONS-LOW FAT

Steps:

• {preheat oven to 425 F).
• Clean, wash and dry the vegetables, cut into a large bowl and toss with approx 1/4 to 1/3 cup Italian dressing. (add a light shot of cayanne or hot sauce if you'd like a spicy taste).
• Be sure all surfaces are coated-add a tablespoon or so if needed but you will probably have some left in the bowl after moving the vegetables-save that to baste later.
• Spray a 9x 13 pan with cooking spray and spread the veggies into as thin a layer as possible in the pan.
• Cover loosely with foil and place in preheated oven for 30 minutes, remove foil and either turn or toss the veggies lightly-recover and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until veggies are almost done and starting to brown.
• Add any remaining marinade and bake till brown and somewhat crispy on edges.
• You can add mushrooms, brussels sprouts or other vegetables at the halfway point if you'd like more variety-be sure to toss with marinade and check that juices don't build up and stean away your roasted texture.
