    Adopting healthy eating habits is not difficult as one may think. It is just a matter of making healthy choices. Choosing healthy alternatives to what we love to eat will help us get into eating healthy. For example, choosing oven-baked or air fryer french fries over deep-fried makes a huge difference. Think of cutting down on those saturated fats in the oils that are used for deep frying them. 

    These little things matter a lot and can add up over time to help you to cut down on ‘bad’ calorie intakes while you still get to enjoy your favorite foods!

    Equipment

    • Large Baking Sheet
    • Sharp Knife (10% Code: WATCHWHATUEAT)

    Ingredients

    • 2 sweet potatoes
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
    • salt and pepper
    • 1-2 tablespoon parmesan cheese to garnish (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley to garnish (optional)

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven at 400 F.
    • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Dry and cut it into half across the length and then into even sized sticks.
    • In a large mixing bowl add 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, garlic powder, dried parsley and paprika. Then add sweet potato sticks, salt and pepper. Mix well until sticks are evenly coated with oil and spices.
    • Prepare a baking sheet by evenly coating with remaining oil. Spread the sweet potato sticks onto the pan. Ensure each stick is touching the pan and not overlapping each other for even heating.
    • Transfer the pan into preheated oven. Bake it for 15 min. and then flip the fries. Bake further for 10 min. Again flip, turn the oven on to the highest heat setting (mine is 500 F) and bake for another 10 min to get those little brown and crispy edges.
