Healthy Sweet Potato Fries
I am crazy for sweet potato fries. However, sweet potato fries are, well fried! and just not healthy. As a result of my search for an alternative way to get my fry fix, I found the Philips Airfryer. Wow, I am impressed! The Airfryer does an awesome job at making sweet potato fries that look and taste like they are deep fried! I honestly love them. Most importantly all you need for this healthy snack are sweet potatoes, a tablespoon of olive oil and some salt and pepper.
I know, you are probably saying,” I don’t have an Air Fryer”. I know, I know it is an investment. Have no fear you can make these in the oven too, no problem! These sweet potato fries are also great with some oil-free garlic aioli. What are you waiting for? Make them today.
