I’ll be the first to raise my hand and tell everyone that I love junk food. Whether it’s chips, chocolate, fries … I love them all. Unfortunately, my scale doesn’t love me back when I eat said junk food. A few days ago, I shared with you all how you can make skinny onion rings to satisfy your onion ring cravings without packing on pounds or artery-clogging fat.
Who says you can’t do the same with fries! The best part of a burger is having those fries to dunk in ketchup (or in my case mustard). When I made these the first time, I was a bit nervous that they wouldn’t taste as good as the deep fried ones. But I was so wrong. these are even better. Other than the health factor, another benefit of these oven-baked fries is that it doesn’t stink up your house. Oh how I hate how the smell of fried foods take over our whole house! It’s awful. Well, here’s my solution and I’m loving it (unintentional McDonald’s reference).
