Supports gut health, heart health, methylation, inflammation and detoxification.
For a tasty and nutrient-dense side dish, these Oven Roasted Sweet Potato Fries are a perfect addition to any meal. With a simple preparation and a handful of wholesome ingredients, you can enjoy a guilt-free indulgence that’s packed with health benefits, particularly for supporting gut health, reducing inflammation, and promoting optimal cellular function.
Sweet potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A that supports immune function, vision health, and skin integrity. The high fiber content in sweet potatoes also aids digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut by supporting beneficial bacteria in the microbiome. Additionally, sweet potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy without spiking blood sugar levels.
The use of olive oil in this recipe adds a heart-healthy dose of monounsaturated fats, which are known to support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation. Olive oil also enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, making these fries not only delicious but also more nutrient-dense.
Seasoned with garlic powder and paprika, these sweet potato fries are full of flavor and bring additional health benefits. Garlic powder adds an immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory kick, while paprika provides a subtle warmth and a dose of capsaicin, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Tapioca starch helps achieve a crispy texture, making these fries a perfect blend of crunchy and soft.
Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, which adds a burst of color and a touch of phytonutrients, these Oven Roasted Sweet Potato Fries are a gluten-free, dairy-free, and low-sugar option that fits seamlessly into various dietary preferences. Whether served as a side dish or a healthy snack, these fries are a delicious way to enjoy the benefits of sweet potatoes while supporting your overall wellness.
