Three Veggie Fries You Have to Try | Women's Health Food Blog ...

No matter what?s for dinner tonight, yes, you would like fries with that. But they?re not going to be soggy, greasy, or pumped full of enough sodium to bloat you like a puffer fish.

These alterna-fries, made from veggies you won?t find at a drive-thru, are simple. Start by slicing sticks measuring roughly a half-inch by 3 inches. Then follow the instructions below and bake in a preheated 425?F oven.


Zucchini fries
In a small bowl, whisk an egg. In another bowl, mix ? cup breadcrumbs with one teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Dunk sticks in egg, then breadcrumbs to coat. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy.
Serve with: Marinara sauce


Butternut fries
Before you slice your butternut, peel it. Coat fry sticks with a little olive oil and salt in a bowl, lay on a baking sheet, and bake for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the edges start to look brown. For a spicier version, sprinkle a little cayenne, too, before you bake.
Serve with: Maple syrup mixed with mayonnaise in equal parts (trust me here)

Carrot fries
Two ingredients! And not just for bunnies. Sprinkle with salt, lay on a baking sheet, and bake for about 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serve with: Ranch
