This recipe is super easy to make, instead of having heavy potato fries why not change it up and have some sweet potato instead. They are an amazing vegetable, a good source of vitamins A, C, E and B6, manganese and magnesium. It's an excellent source of beta-carotene, making it an powerful antioxidant food. Unlike most starch foods, sweet potato actually improves blood sugar regulation - when boiled or steamed the glycemic index (GI) rating is approx 50, which is on the lower end of the scale and combined with their superior fiber content, this means that their caloric energy is used more slowly and efficiently.
So instead of getting processed deep fried fries, why not make your own healthy version that is even more delicious!
