Healthy Oven Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Can Fries really be healthy you ask?
Baked sweet potato fries can and this is why-
Sweet potatoes are high in beta carotene which helps to elevate our vitamin A levels about 213.5% of our daily value and they are also high in vitamin C 52.2% of our daily value along with Vitamin B6.

While boiling or steaming actually reduces the glycemic index, adding fat such as olive oil also reduces the glycemic effect and actually helps the body absorb the beta carotene better.

Recipe For Bake Sweet Potato Fries
2 Sweet potatoes peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Set oven on 450
Peel potatoes and slice into long even slices so that they cook evenly.

Using a zip lock bag add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil with a pinch of sea salt,add the potatoes and shake until evenly blended.
Place on cookie sheet with parchment paper spread evenly side by side.
Bake for 15 minutes, take out and turn and brush on the remaining olive oil and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes depending on texture you like
Enjoy!
