Fries are hot and fries are in!

And of course, they are, as they always should be! They are healthy and delicious! Due to the nonsense from the fitness and meat and dairy industry, carbs have gotten a bad rep, that they absolutely don’t deserve.

Potatoes are a whole food, and we as humans could actually survive eating only potatoes. As potatoes are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and anti-oxidants, they could sustain us without us ever feeling deprived.

Fries are delicious and good for you, what really hurts us are the fats that cover those delicious and amazing starches. Our fries are accompanied by a side of cholesterol, salt and fat, so it’s no wonder that we feel dirty after having eaten them!

But not these fries! Trust me! There is nothing but delicious goodness covering these babies, which makes them a great, nutritious and delicious starch. And the best thing is, they are so full of flavor that you won’t believe that they are fat-free!

Already getting hungry?

Good!

Let’s go!

Ridiculously Easy and Delicious Fat-Free Fries (Vegan)

But of course… fries should always be vegan!!! (Don’t trust it though… often they are baked in animal fats, which makes them not so vegan…)

These are easy to make! Done in 20 minutes!

Ingredients:

A pound of starchy potatoes;

1/2 cup nutritional yeast;

1 teaspoon onion powder;

1 teaspoon garlic powder;

1 tablespoon spelt flour;

a pinch of salt;

1/2 teaspoon black pepper;

a twig of fresh rosemary.

What to do, what to do?

Here comes the fun part!

Cut up your potatoes into wedges. Peeling is not needed, just wash them thoroughly before use. If your potatoes are organic then best to eat the skin as well, as most nutrients are actually in the skin, however, if you don’t want to do that, you can always peel them.

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and put in the potatoes, and then… Shake it! Shake it! Shake it! Shake it like a Polaroid picture! (Wooo hoooo!!) Bruise the potatoes on the edges, in order to make them even more delicious and crunchy)

(Of course, you may want to cover the potatoes with a plate or something before shaking… otherwise your meal might be lying on the ground instead of in your mouth ….)

Take an oven tray and cover it with baking paper, and get the potatoes on there. Place it in the preheated oven (400 F, 230 C) and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. At about 10 minutes in the oven, turn the potatoes. Easiest is really to take the tray and shake it some more to turn the potatoes. Use a spatula if anything is sticking (but it shouldn’t).

Although it’s just 20 minutes, it will take a lot of patience as the smells are so delicious!!

(Depending on your oven the time can vary, so please check if the potatoes are done before taking them out. Test it out by poking them with a fork, if they are hard, put them back into the oven)

Enjoy these amazing crispy fries with a salad and your favorite vegan condiments! It’s as easy as that!

Watch out not to burn your mouth!

Cheers & Bon Appetit!
