Eat Fries for Weight Loss

I wanted to share a recipe with you from Josh Benzoni. He has some great takes on junk food that can be tweaked to make it a healthier choice!

I am seeing fast food places trying to make fries seem good for you by advertising that they are made with sea salt or I am now seeing a lot of Sweet Potato fries. They are still fried and full of trans fats. The worst thing for your heart.

Check out this good switch from one of the worst foods you can eat, fries.

Here is a healthy way to eat your fries:


Baked Sweet Potato “Fries”

If the only way you’re used to eating sweet potatoes is in a Thanksgiving casserole, you’re missing out on a very nutritious vegetable. Packed with beta carotene, sweet potatoes have a great flavor that can accompany a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large sweet potatoes
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, salt, and pepper. Set the bowl aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F.
  3. Peel the potatoes, cut each in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 6 wedges. In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, oil, and spice mixture. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  4. On a baking sheet, arrange the potatoes in a single layer and place them on the middle shelf of the oven. Bake until the edges are crisp and the potatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
