7 Ways To Make French Fries Healthy

By Shreya Goswami

Who can say no to French fries? Nobody can, but many have to for health reasons. Skip all that guilt and use these easy tricks to give French fries a healthy twist.

Bake Them

Instead of frying them, use an oven to bake or grill the fries after parboiling them.

Skip Potatoes

Instead of potatoes, use healthier veggies like sweet potatoes, zucchini, beetroot, carrot, etc.

Air Fry

Just drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and air fry them to get crispy but healthy French fries.

Bigger Cuts

Instead of thin cuts, cut bigger wedges of the potatoes. Less surface area, less exposure to trans fats!

Right Oil

Use oils with high smoking points, like sunflower oil, sesame oil, avocado oil, to prevent trans fats.

Skip Salt

Too much sodium can impact blood pressure & heart health. Skip the salt in your French fries.

Add Vinegar

Adding vinegar to the fries can not only make them salty, but also improve insulin sensitivity.
