Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375oF (190oC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Nutritional Highlights

  • Turmeric’s key nutrient, called curcumin, may block cancer cell growth, kill tumor cells, and halt metastasis.
  • Black pepper may enhance the absorption of curcumin in turmeric by up to 2,000%.
  • Garlic and onion have both been linked to lower breast cancer risk — they have been shown to have biologically active compounds that may potentially inhibit carcinogens, protect cell DNA, and suppress tumor cell proliferation.
  • Paprika contains the antioxidants capsaicin, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin, plus compounds such as capsanthin and capsorubin — exclusively found in paprika — which may reduce chronic inflammation.
