SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH RICE FLOUR
If you love to go out and order sweet potato fries with your burger or meal, you can now make them at home and a healthier version too!
These are so good that you might even feel guilty eating them. And what’s even better is they are super healthy because you bake them with olive oil and do not deep fry them.
But trust me as a Sweet Potato Fry freak, these will taste just as good and you might not even want to share… I usually don’t!
Why White Rice Flour
White rice has so many benefits to it, it’s easy on digestion and it’s also gluten-free. Most of the time Sweet Potato Fries are tossed in either wheat flour or corn starch. Both can be inflammatory to your GI tract, especially if you have an autoimmune disease. White rice flour will give your baked fries that crunchy texture like they just came out of a deep frier. If white rice scares you, you can substitute it with tapioca starch as well.
