600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.
Mediterranean Diet
Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium.

Prepare the ingredients:
1 Prepare the ingredients:

Preheat the oven to 475°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into 1-inch-wide wedges. Very thinly slice the cucumber into rounds; place in a heatproof bowl. Peel the garlic; smash each clove once with the side of your knife to flatten. Halve and thinly slice the tomato. Halve the buns lengthwise, keeping them intact.

Roast the potatoes:
2 Roast the potatoes:

Place the potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper and the Italian seasoning; toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange the seasoned potatoes, skin sides down, in a single, even layer and roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a serving dish.

Pickle the cucumber:
3 Pickle the cucumber:

While the potatoes roast, in a small pot, combine the smashed garlic cloves, vinegar, ¼ of the celery salt and ¼ cup of water; season with salt and pepper. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, remove from heat and pour into the bowl of cucumber. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally, for at least 10 minutes.

Cook the frankfurters:
4 Cook the frankfurters:

Once the potatoes have roasted for about 15 minutes, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the frankfurters in a single, even layer. Cook, turning occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until evenly browned and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside in a warm place.

Toast the buns:
5 Toast the buns:

While the potatoes continue to roast, place the buns on a sheet pan. Toast in the oven 2 to 3 minutes, or until warmed through. Transfer to a serving dish.

6 Assemble the frankfurters & serve your dish:

Thoroughly drain the pickled cucumber; remove and discard the smashed garlic cloves. Fill each toasted bun with a cooked frankfurter, a couple of tomato slices, a few pickled cucumber slices, some of the sweet pickle relish and mustard and as many of the pickled sport peppers as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Garnish with the remaining celery salt. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
