The key to cooking healthy – and tasty — food is to find ways to boost flavor while retaining the nutrition.
A few healthier cooking methods:
Baking: This method doesn’t require added fat or moisture, which helps retain nutrients.
Braising: Braising begins with browning food on the stovetop and then adding liquid and simmering on low heat. The leftover liquid makes a great sauce or gravy.
Broiling: While broiling exposes food to direct heat, using a low setting can help limit smoke.
Poaching: Poaching involves simmering food in a flavorful liquid, such as broth, wine or fresh juices.
Roasting: Another dry heat option that emphasizes low, slow cooking.
