If you're looking for a healthier homemade version for french fries, try roasted veggie fries! Fries are typically made with white potatoes which contain a lot of starch, and starch turns into sugar in your body. Use carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes, to make a fun and delicious alternative to your standard french fry. Instead of being deep fried, they are oven roasted, giving you a much healthier version.
