Can any1 give me some ideas for healthy halal food?!


Question: ASSALAMU WA ALAIKUM SISTER:)


Roasted Asparagus

4 servings 25 min 10 min prep

1 lb asparagus
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or 1/4 teaspoon regular table salt)

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cut off the woody bottom part of the asparagus spears and discard.
With a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin on the bottom 2-3 inches of the spears (this keeps the asparagus from being all "stringy" and if you eat asparagus you know what I mean by that).
Place asparagus on foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt.
With your hands, roll the asparagus around until they are evenly coated with oil and salt.
Roast for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your stalks and how tender you like them.
They should be tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
The tips of the spears will get very brown but watch them to prevent burning.
They are great plain, but sometimes I serve them with a light vinaigrette if we need something acidic to balance out our meal.

Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Chips

4 servings 22 min 15 min prep

4 medium potatoes (russet, yellow gold, or red potatoes)
your choice spices or herbs (granulated garlic powder, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, dried dill weed)
olive oil, for microwave tray, plate


If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, 1/16" in thickness, slicing across the potato.
If the potatoes are new or good skins, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them 1/16" in thickness, slicing across the potato.
Sprinkle with your choice of spices or herbs or just leave them plain.
If you have a microwave bacon tray, place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer.
Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 7 to 8 minutes.
Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage of your microwave.
You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish.
Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips.
I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish.
After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again.
Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.
NOTE: You can also use PARCHMENT PAPER to place your potato slices. Place your potato slices, then sprinkle them with whatever you like and then place another piece of parchment paper on top. This will help microwave the potatoes more evenly and they should turn out nice and crisp.
ADDITIONAL IDEAS, suggested by Deb K:.
Granulated garlic powder with parsley.
Cracked black pepper, grated parmesan and sea salt sprinkled after removing from microwave.
Another, after removing chips from microwave, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, zap for a few seconds to melt the cheese, then add a dab of sour cream.
A great dip is Robert Rothschild Farm Dips:.
Emerald Isle Onion Dill and Horseradsih Dip.
