‘Fries’ Articles at Sweetnicks

Craving french fries, but not the side order of guilt? Make sweet potato curly fries and indulge.

By now, you have likely heard of zucchini noodles, or “zoodles,” as they are sometimes called. When I bought my spiralizer over a year ago, that was the first dish I made, and to this day, it is the most repeated one. But for every time I make a zucchini noodle dish, I try to make a recipe using a different ingredient. Because I know all too well how easy it is to fall into a rut.

Just ask me what I’ve had for lunch every day for the past three weeks…

(egg salad sandwich, homemade mayo, toasted whole grain bread with a side of grapefruit)

When it comes to sweet potatoes, the kids aren’t fans. I’ve tried roasted. These fritters. Baked with brown sugar and butter.

They’re just not there yet.

And I get it. I don’t think I really started liking sweet potatoes until I was a grown up.

But these fries?

They had a couple.

They could not be simpler to make. Crispy strands of pure fun for your taste buds. Play around with the seasoning to make a version that appeals to you.

Go sweet.

Go spicy.

GO CRAZY.

And eat fries without feeling guilty.

Warm, creamy avocado fries that will have you thinking of avocado in a whole new way.

I am no stranger to the magical virtues that warm avocado possesses.

I first discovered how good they were on a cruise to Bermuda way back in 1996. The Ex and I discovered a little dive restaurant that served the most amazing Toasted Bacon and Avocado sandwich. So good that we smuggled a few back on the ship with us, and that fond memory has stuck with me since then.

So when I kept seeing recipes for Avocado Fries, I made a mental note to try them.

Because avocado.

But most of the recipes I saw were fried, and that’s not exactly what I was looking for.

So if you can’t find something you want, you have to do the next best thing… create it yourself.

And here we are.

The simplest recipe ever, you’ll be shoveling these babies into your mouth in less than twenty minutes.

I coated the avocado slices with coconut flour, then egg whites, then coconut flour.

Baked in the oven.

And then done.

Of course you can use regular flour too; I used coconut flour because I wanted to make these #Whole30-approved. Doing your second coating with panko will make them slightly crispier, if you’d prefer. I kind of like them this way better.

Smooth. Creamy. Warm. So buttery. Melt in your mouth. Completely guilt-free.

Pretty much a keeper.
