I'm always in the mood for a healthy snack that will fill me up and hold me over between meals (snacks should be anywhere between 100-200 calories). So what's better to snack on than french fries?! Here's an easy, quick and healthy recipe I created for homemade sweet potato fries that are under 150 calories. One sweet potato, baked is about 103 calories and serves 1, so doubling this recipe for you and a friend is still easy and healthy!
Here's what you'll need:
- 1 medium sized sweet potato (when picking out a sweet potato pick one thats hard, if it's soft that means its rotten, ew)
- 1 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. of brown sugar
- Ground black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- Vegetable peeler
- Baking sheet
- Tin foil
- Ziploc bag
To Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees
- Wash and peel the sweet potato
- Half the sweet potato into thick slices, like steak fries
- Place the cut up pieces into a Ziploc bag with the extra virgin olive oil, brown sugar, pepper and salt, shake until all pieces are covered evenly
- Spreed the pieces of sweet potato out evenly on a tin foil covered baking sheet, making sure the pieces aren't overlapping
Once the oven is preheated put the fries in for 15 minutes, flip them over to the other side and then cook them for another 5-10 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool for a few minutes and they're ready to eat. Enjoy these sweet potato fries as a healthy snack or even as a side dish with lunch or dinner!
