Fancy some testosterone boosting chips? Yes, that’s not a joke, you can make chips a T-boosting food (even if you’d use white potatoes) as long as you choose the right kind of oil.
The problem with store bought chips, is that they’re deep fried in high omega-6 vegetable oils that are mostly polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs). That’s not good for T because: a) PUFAs have been found to lower testosterone levels. b) PUFAs are not that heat stable and tend to oxidize pretty badly when used for deep frying.
For this recipe, we’ll use sweet potatoes, which are ridiculously dense in many T-boosting nutrients and a great carbohydrate source in a testosterone boosting diet (you can use white potatoes too), and also beets, which deliver your body some methyl-donor compounds (that’ll help to remove estrogen), and naturally occurring nitrates (which increase circulation).
Instead of using the unhealthy high omega-6 PUFA oils, the chips are made with olive oil, which is a dietary fat source filled with T-boosting monounsaturated fatty-acids (seriously, there’s even a human study where olive oil increased T by 17%).
NOTE: Unless you’re superb with knife and have a very sharp blade in your kitchen, I suggest that you use a “mandoline” or “V-slicer” to cut the slices.
- ½ pound sweet potatoes
- ½ pound beets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp rock salt
- ½tsp ground cumin
2. Combine the olive oil, cayenne pepper, salt, and cumin in a bowl. Add in the beet and sweet potato slices. Toss around to coat.
3. Cover a baking sheet with one layer of chips and cook until golden and tender (takes roughly 20 minutes). Serve with a dip or for extra T-boosting greatness, try with this guacamole.
