On 12 July, we will celebrate International French Fry Day. Craving the crispy goodness of French fries but seeking a healthier option? Alternatives like baked or air-fried options achieve a crispy texture with minimal oil, reducing calorie (kilojoule) content. Sweet potato fries offer more vitamins and fibre with a lower glycemic index than potatoes, helping to stabilise blood sugar levels. Zucchini or carrot fries provide a lower-carb option with added nutrients. Seasoning with herbs and spices instead of salt can enhance flavour without increasing sodium levels, which can lead to high blood pressure.
