Craving French fries

Hourglass25

I really want French fries, I just refuse to walk down to mcdonalds. Does anyone have a healthier version of french fries?

sweet potatoes! oven 425, cut like fries. Sprinkle w/ paprika, basil, garlic salt... pop in oven for 10-15 min, flip, then another 10-15.... I add chili pepper for spice as well. don't forget to lightly spray the baking sheet.

my coworker does the same with brussel sprouts - she says it'll look burnt, but taste nice and crispy like fries.

brussel sprouts eh? I'll have to try that!

You can also use normal potatoes and if you broil them ( put them on a rack right underneath the elements ) they will crisp up nicely

For the Brussel Sprouts... you could always use less oil...
