Potatoes are carb-loaded but delicious. The vegetable isn’t bad for you, in fact, they have 50 percent of your daily vitamin C goal, are higher in potassium than a banana and are rich in vitamin B6. However, their carb density keeps them off our plate more often than not.
With alternative base vegetables, fries can still be a part of your diet. Additionally, baking instead of frying can lower the calorie count. Many of us have had zucchini fries at restaurants, but we wanted to present you with a few more options.
The great thing about eggplant fries is that the outside has a crunch while the inside is soft. Rosemary, thyme and paprika punch up the flavor while almond meal coating helps keep the carbs low. With 218 calories and 11 grams of carbs, these are sure to be a hit! Get the recipe here.
Turnips are a favorite go-to vegetable of ours. Once you add taco spice and turn them into fries, they shine even more! The taco spice is homemade, so you know exactly what you are putting on your plate, and the spice mix only has five ingredients. Using a shake-and-bake method, these fries could not be easier to make! This tasty side has 129 calories and 11 grams of carbs per serving. Get the recipe here.
Jicama became popular in 2018, and we love the slightly sweet flavor of this potato-lookalike. This recipe has only four ingredients and three steps: peel, cut and cook! Each serving has 99 calories and eight grams of carbs. You should absolutely try these fries for yourself! Get the recipe here.
Part of why we like these tofu fries is that they are so great if you don’t like tofu. Baked tofu has a crispy outside that lets people who don’t enjoy the silky texture love the flavors of this tasty fry with a crunchy exterior. A serving contains 132 calories and only 3 grams of carbs. Get the recipe here.
