While we love to eat French fries we all know they are not really healthy for us. Not only they have carbs but also artery clogging trans fats. Does that mean we can’t enjoy them once in a while? Sure we can!

How about having a healthy alternative?

6. Season with salt and spices if using. Mix them well.
7. Pour the prepared sweet potatoes into a non-stick baking sheet and arrange them in a single layer. Don’t over-crowd them.
