161216 "The Healthier French Fry Recipe"

Winter time is all about cooking with your hearty vegetables and exploring new and old forms of dense carbohydrates. Our diets need to stay as flexible as our training so simply roasting your sweet potatoes or mashing them up every day can sometimes stifle you... and make you bored. 

Today I want to show you just how easy the Sweet Potato Fry can be. Its easy because you only need a few ingredients to make something that I guarantee you will love. Unless you burn them. 

You simply need;
- 1-2 Large Sweet Potato
- 1/2 cup of Coconut oil
-1 Tablespoon of sea salt
-1 Tablespoon of Paprika
-1 Tablespoon of Cinnamon

After you have cut the potatoes up in nice french fry shape (not too skinny, not to fat) then you can place potatoes and all other herbs in a bowl and stir them up until the potatoes are completely glisteny! Place On a baking sheet and in the oven at 450 degrees. Spin them a bit every 10 minutes until nicely browned and crispy. ( about 35 mins) 

By going with Sweet Potatoes you are getting a carbohydrate that is nutrient dense, high in fiber and has lots of Vitamins A and C. Shaking them up in Coconut oil guarantees that good fats are in your diet and getting creative with herbs brings out your own flare. 

Pair this with a grilled chicken and a kale salad and you have a meal fit for training. You will be closer to achieving your goals and remaining inflammation free.
