Sometimes you just want to pig out on a huge plate of fries…the only problem is that then you end up with eater’s remorse from eating a bunch of junk…unless…wait for it…HEALTHY FRIES!!! Yup, healthy fries! These root veggie fries are SUPER good for you. You can really use any root veggies that you want in these…the more variety, the better, because that means more flavors and more nutrition from various veggies! I used rutabaga, turnip, and sweet potato for my plate of fries, and it was DE-LISH!!!
Did I just die and go to heaven? Probably not, but these sure taste like I did! These make for a great snack or side dish to any meal, and they’re super easy to make. Let’s take a look at the recipe!
ROOT VEGGIE FRIES
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and sliced into fries
- 1 turnip, skin removed, and sliced into fries
- 1 rutabaga, skin removed, and sliced into fries
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. garlic granules
- sea salt, for seasoning
- Possible dipping sauces: homemade ketchup or plain Greek yogurt (my favorite)
Directions:
1.) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the prepared sweet potato, turnip, and rutabaga in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and garlic granules and toss to coat completely. Spread the fries out evenly on the prepared baking sheet (single layer). Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes until they reach your desired fry consistency (longer = crispier, shorter = softer).
2.) Transfer to a plate, season with sea salt, and serve.
HEALTHY FRIES!!! Nom Nom Nom! Enjoy!
