You will never have tastier fries ! Sweeter and healthier, these perfectly crisp fries will give colour and taste to your side dishes. Plus, sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic load than normal potatoes, which means they don’t raise your blood sugar as much. They are also loaded with very healthy nutrients such as vitamin B’s and a whole lot of fiber. Of course, they have to be made as healthy as possible and we will show you how. You can make just about anything with sweet potatoes if you bake them right; cubes, fries or even just cut in half. Blending it into a soft purée is equally delicious. Sweet potatoes are definitely a trend this year !
