Craving something crispy and comforting? Try these oven-baked sweet potato fries! 🍠✨
Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and beta-carotene (great for vision and immunity!), and baking them keeps things heart-healthy. Slice them thin, toss with olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of sea salt, then roast until golden.
Dip them in Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon for a protein-packed twist!
Perfect as a side dish, after-school snack, or something fun for the kids to help make in the kitchen.
