Sweet Potato Fries
Did you know that sweet root vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash are not only high in Vitamin A and beta carotene (think gorgeous skin!) but also a great way to keep cravings at bay? They’re high in natural sugars–the good kind that slowly elevate your blood sugar to keep you from wanting refined processed sugars later. I often recommend increasing root vegetables to my clients that suffer from sugar cravings.
This secret really works.
Here’s a recipe for one of my favorite and easy ways to enjoy a delicious sweet potato. This recipe works just as well for white potatoes or carrots.
Preparation
1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
2. Peel potatoes or carrots and slice into long strips. Place in a mixing bowl and toss with enough olive oil and sea salt to coat.
3. Spread onto a baking sheet and place in oven.
4. Roast until golden brown, times will vary. Turn once if you are able to without breaking.
5. Dip in maple syrup for a healthy sweet treat, and add cinnamon for an even more flavor. (Genuine maple syrup is high in minerals.)
