Loaded Smokey Sweet Potato Fries
… “and do you want fries with that?”
Healthy swaps made easy! Craving a side of fries? Make a healthy swap and use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, vitamins A, B6, C, potassium and fibre.
Make sure you wash your sweet potatoes and leave the skin on for extra fibre!
Did you know cooking with the skin on helps to reduce leaching of nutrients including beta-carotene and vitamin C?
