Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, heart-healthy substitute recommended)
• 4 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and add the 4 cups of water, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.

Step 2

Add the ground turmeric to the water. This step not only enhances the flavor but also gives the eggshells a gentle golden tint.

Step 3

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, immediately lower the heat to medium and simmer for 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs with a creamy yolk texture.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooking, prepare the spice coating by mixing paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and the optional salt or salt substitute in a small bowl.

Step 5

Once the eggs are done, carefully transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to cool down.

Step 6

Peel the eggs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the peeled eggs, allowing the oil to slightly coat the surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the prepared spice mixture over the eggs, rolling them gently to ensure an even coating.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. These eggs can be enjoyed warm or chilled, making them a versatile heart-healthy snack or addition to salads.
