Low Calorie Roasted Red Potatoes
Tonight’s dinner was AH.MAY.ZING! My favorite part was this side dish. I saw this on Pinterest months ago and kept telling myself I needed to try it. The recipe that I originally pinned is from For the Love of Cooking. I took the olive oil down a bit and didn’t include the sour cream. They are so yummy!!
I prefer to use fresh cracked pepper and sea salt. Next time I think I’ll try them with with a bit of thyme or other dried herbs. Also, the picture is of a one cup serving, which is obviously double the calories. I had the extra calories in my budget today, so I went for a carb fest! You could also replace the sour cream with low fat Greek yogurt which would be delicious as well! According to my calculations, for a 1/2 cup serving these are a mere 130 calories and only 2.5 grams of fat! And for those Weight Watcher’s peeps – 3.5 points plus!
Ingredients
- 1 - 1 lb. bag baby red potatoes
- 3 t. olive oil
- black pepper
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash the potatoes and boil for 10-15 minutes. Let them cool enough to handle and cut them in half. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Change oven to high broil and broil for 5-10 minutes or until browned around edges.
