Roasted Herb Potatoes (GF)

Ingredients

  • 8-10 small Yukon gold potatoes (or use a mix of red and gold potatoes)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp rosemary
  • 1/8 tsp parsley
  • 1/8 tsp fresh-ground pepper
  • Dash of cayenne pepper
  • Optional: For an extra delicious twist, toss in some carrots!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Use a stoneware rimmed baking sheet, or line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut potatoes into wedges by quartering them. Place on a large clean dish towel and pat dry with another dish towel or paper towels.
  3. If desired, cut carrots into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, or gallon-size baggie, combine all ingredients, except veggies. If using a baggie, rub the bag between your hands to combine the ingredients and evenly distribute them throughout the bag.
  5. Place potato wedges (and carrot pieces, if using) in the bowl (or bag) and toss well to coat.
  6. Place veggies on lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

Notes

Be sure to make a double batch, these reheat beautifully and also make a great breakfast side! Yum!

Healthier French Fries (GF)

By Kelly · 16 Comments

The single most important step to improving your health and your family’s health (both therapeutically and preventively) is to stop eating fast food.

It’s especially sad to see an entire generation of children being raised on fast food, with French fries being a staple in their diet. Am I saying I’m anti-French fry? No, not when they’re homemade using healthy ingredients and are served on occasion.

My boys love these fries, as do most kids, which is why they’re one of my favorite recipes to make in conjunction with the Healthy Chicken Nuggets for kid-parties. It really opens the door to talk about healthy eating when Moms see their kids devouring real food with a big smile on their faces! We hope you enjoy this recipe too!

P.S. You can also follow this same recipe using yummy sweet potatoes to create delicious Sweet Potato Fries, see photo and note below!


Slice fries and place on clean dish towel. Be sure to pat dry with clean paper towels.


Making fries together is a fun way to get your kids in the kitchen with you and talk about why it’s so much better for us to eat real food!

Encourage your kiddos to try something new! Replace the white potatoes with sweet potatoes for an extra yummy boost in nutrition. See recipe notes below for details!

Healthier French Fries (GF)

3-4 servings

Healthier French Fries (GF)

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-to-large organic Russet potatoes (or sweet potatoes)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp rosemary
  • 1/8 tsp thyme
  • 1/8 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (or more if you like ‘em really spicy!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to *425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and slice potatoes into fries and place on a clean dishtowel. Pat potato slices with clean paper towels until completely dry.
  3. Using a gallon-size ziplock baggie, add olive oil and seasonings to the bag. Mash and combine the oil and seasonings, while evenly distributing the mixture throughout baggie.
  4. Place slice potatoes into the baggie, seal and shake until potatoes are well coated.
  5. Immediately transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure that potatoes are evenly spaced for best results.
  6. Bake 20-25 minutes until lightly browned around edges. (If making sweet potato fries, check them at about 15-20 minutes, as they often take less time, depending on how thick they're cut.)
  7. Serve with a turkey-veggie burger or healthy chicken nuggets.

Notes

*If you have convection, that’s best. It's important to have high heat when baking fries and not to use too much oil, which is why you do not want to oil your baking sheet. These fries will be softer than "fried" fries, but should not be soggy. If they are, reduce the oil and try up-ing your oven temp to 450 degrees, as ovens do vary in actual temperature (some run hotter, some not so much).
