Two things I don’t understand in the world (among many): how fax machines work and people who don’t like fries. If it was acceptable and my body felt okay doing it, I would eat a whole basket of fries for a meal. They are the best! Unfortunately, I don’t feel well doing that, especially when I eat fries at a restaurant.

It’s not that fried foods are bad in itself, it’s because restaurants usually use awful oils that are oxidized and so inflammatory to our bodies. This is why I usually make fries at home using potatoes or sweet potatoes and healthy, stable oils. Recently, I tried using plantains for the first time to make curly fries, and I couldn’t believe how I amazing they turned out!

I don’t think fries are worth eating if they aren’t crispy and crunchy. Spiralizing plantains and baking them in the oven in high heat yields the crispiest and tastiest fries and I honestly couldn’t stop eating them!

I love garlicky fries so I tossed them in raw garlic before baking them, but if you don’t like garlic, you can leave them out. The best thing is that they are a healthy starchy snack and I feel great after eating them. If you love curly, crispy fries (AND YOU SHOULD), you gotta make these!
