Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

February 25, 2020 by Anna 15 Comments

Crispy on the outside and soft in the center, these healthy, baked Sweet Potato Fries are crazy delicious and fast! All you need is oil, cornstarch, spices, and sweet potatoes.

We enjoy these fries with Air-Fryer Chicken Nuggets for a totally kid-approved meal or with my Baked Honey Mustard Chicken since both can bake in the oven in the same time!

Raise your hand, if you never say no to a plate of fresh-cooked fries! Me too! What if you could make a plateful of sweet potato fries that are actually crispy yet baked in the oven? Sign me up! These fries are so much better for you than deep-fat fried ones. They are also so easy to make and great to snack on or serve as a side dish. Perfect for light dinner and 100% kid-approved!

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice – this healthy, low carb version of a popular takeout dish. It takes about 20 minutes to make, including grating the cauliflower.

I use cauliflower to make healthier versions of our favorite dishes, like my Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce or Healthy Mac and Cheese.

The best way to see if a healthier substitution works is to try it in one of your favorite recipes. I knew that the first dish I wanted to try with my new obsession – the cauliflower rice – is Fried Rice. I was crossing my fingers so hard because my Hubby loves fried rice and I really wanted him to love it with my cauliflower substitution.

You guys, we literally ate the whole pan, no plates – just forks and pan! We are obsessed with this version of fried rice! The same flavors, less calories. It is so good and you can’t tell that there is no grain rice in it.

The Best Sauteed Spinach – fresh spinach sauteed with garlic and onions in olive oil and butter. This easiest and fastest spinach side dish is healthy and low-carb diet friendly.

I serve it with Garlic Parmesan Salmon, Instant Pot Chicken Thighs or French Onion Roasted Chicken.

One of my favorite side dishes that I can quickly whip up when short on time or when I need a healthy vegetable side, is this Sauteed Spinach. It’s flavorful and a favorite with the whole family, even the kiddos like it! Sauteed onion and garlic in olive oil and butter mixture are the perfect flavor base for fresh spinach. It’s a healthy and low-carb option for any meal! This is hands-down the best sauteed spinach recipe you will make. It’s healthy, delicious and goes with any main course. You can also use it in grain bowls with cooked quinoa, rice, black beans, tofu, etc.
