Healthy French Fries (Vegan)

My daughters just love french fries.  What little kid doesn’t like french fries, right?  Time to make her some healthy french fries.

We hadn’t had french fries in quite some since we switched to a whole food diet.  One day, we got a bag of russet potatoes in our co-op basket, so we decided to make a healthy french fry recipe for her.

I think these french fries came out pretty good.  There was no talking when the french fries were being eaten, and there were no leftovers as they were being inhaled.  In our world, that spells success.

Most store bought frozen french fries are laden with saturated fat and too much sodium, but not these.  These are fries you can feel good about giving to your kids.

This recipe would also work well with sweet potatoes.

Recipe Notes

Feel free to add extra salt and garlic at the end to suit your taste. We went a little easy on them since we fed them to our daughter. These would go great with my Black Bean Veggie Burgers or my Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers.
