Get Your Sweet Potato Fry Fix with This Easy Side
Ah, the sweet potato fry. The slightly sweet, slightly salty and a lot crispy version — well, those are pretty much like snacking kryptonite to me. So when a box of frozen Alexia Sweet Potato Fries With Sea Salt arrived, it didn’t take long for me to dive in and try them.
Kiddos are known for loving fries. But everyone knows that the standard fry isn’t the healthiest side on the block. So why not up the nutrition with the sweet potato fry? In the Alexia version, a 12-fry serving gives you 140 calories, 5 grams of healthy fat, 3 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar and 1 gram of protein, plus lots of vitamin A and some potassium. They’re also pretty low in sodium for a convenience product that actually has “salt” in the title. And the ingredient list isn’t too long either — they’re all-natural and are made specially with U.S. grown sweet potatoes.
Super tasty, they’re perfect for a quick and easy side dish on a busy weeknight. Pair them with a burger and a side salad or veggie, and you have one wonderfully delicious and healthy meal. Good for families, nights when you’re rushed or simply when you have a hankering that can only be cured by a bite of sweet potato!
