Don't Cry, Eat a Modern Fry
Fries have earned such a bad rep, but it’s not their fault we’ve turned them into something fattening and unhealthy.
Let’s take some responsibility, shall we? We don’t need to fry them in a sea of oil to get them nice and crispy. You know that exhilarating crunch that tickles your ears as you take that glorious first bite? It’s 2018, we’ve figured out how to do that sans the artery-clogging garbage.
There was a time 2 years ago I didn’t go a dinner without incorporating these into my meal in some way.
Sometimes, I’d make it the main. Other times, it would accompany a veggie burger. Either way, fries hold a very special place in my little, vegan heart. And yes, you can have fries for dinner. You’re in your 20’s—that’s called ~ being an adult. ~ Ever heard of it? If you’re going to make it your main meal, you of course need to eat your veggies on the side. And add some nut butter as a dip for good measure. That’s how you make responsible choices.
So, my little Turmoilers, make these fries, do not cry, and always eat them before the guys.
The Modern Fry (Sweet)
Use This:
Sweet Potatoes
Cinnamon
Coconut Sugar (Optional)
Olive Oil Spray (0 cal)
Parchment Paper
Cookie Sheet
Ziploc Bag (Gallon Size)
Big, Sharp Knife
A Smile :)
Do This:
Pre heat your oven to 400.
Cut the sweet potato into whatever shape you’d like. It’s your life, I can’t tell you how to live it.
Place the cut up sweet taters in a ziploc bag and pour copious amounts of cinnamon in there. Optional: add 1-3 tsp of coconut sugar. Sing “Pour Some Sugar On Me” as you do it. Shake the bag to make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
Place the sweet taties on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and lightly spray with the 0 calorie oil spray. A little goes a long way.
Cook for about 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes over to get an even crisp. Continue cooking until soft, crispy, and oozing its natural sugars.
Remove from the oven and slap away your man’s hand if he reaches for it first. Always eat your fries before the guys.
