Roasted Potato Wedges with Tomato Relish
 |
This healthy snack is a snap to prepare as roasting is an effortless method of cooking. Recent studies show that a balanced diet including vegetables and new potatoes (as long as they are not fried) helps to reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes. It’s essential for a diabetic to eat a varied, balanced diet, hence you don’t need to restrict the yummy potato diet, as long as you watch out for the quantity.
New potato is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, copper, potassium, manganese and dietary fiber. Considering all these factors, you may want to give it a shot in small quantities to be on track with a healthy, balanced diet.
