Sweet potato fries are super simple to make and are an excellent source of carotenoid antioxidants. While they are sweeter than the white variety, sweet potatoes can actually help stabilize blood sugar levels and be beneficial in improving your body’s response to insulin.
Give yourself at least 45 minutes to get them cut and cooked before mealtime and you will have a wonderfully tasty and healthy accompaniment to your dinner.
