I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.
Is there any food that breaks this theory?
Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances
Some popular suggestions include
- fruits (in season) and vegetables
- lentils, beans, rice
- mushrooms
- chicken
- just eat in moderation
Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!
Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!
You are baking carrots? Had no idea you can bake a carrot…that sounds illegal! :))
425f sounds more like roasting. They both use the same heat method, but one is more to break down thicker and heartier foods.
Sometimes I’ll do this when I can find root vegetables on sale. Roasted carrots, parsnips, celery root, fennel, turnips, etc is a great option.
Ooh yes they get sweet and delicious.
