Baked French Fries Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

The trick to these low calorie oven baked fries is a hot, hot oven You might have thought that you had to give up on french fries when you decided to try and eat a little healthier. After all, dropping slices of starchy white potatoes into oodles of piping hot grease is a red flag, and most of us know that by now. But these baked oven fries take the comfort and great taste of regular french fries and makes them not quite so unhealthy. Yes, white potatoes are of course still used. But, sometimes, what's so wrong with a little potato? They are still a vegetable and offer some key nutrients such as vitamin a and dietary fiber. Don't go overboard, and a bit of potato is just fine. These fries aren't dumped in a pot of boiling oil, but are rather lightly coated with olive oil and dusted with a bit of salt. The result will satisfy your craving for french fries without all the fat and calories that come with those regular restaurant french fries. Try making up a batch of these tasty fries and serving them up alongside a healthy, hot sandwich for a meal that feels indulgent but is easy on the waistline Include a crisp green salad on the side for a rounded, complete meal.
