French fries are extremely popular among gourmets.

The dish combines crunch, tenderness and a very bright taste.

But the dish has serious drawbacks: it is high in calories and contains a lot of fat.

The fact is that the heat treatment of the chopped vegetable is carried out in a container with a large amount of oil.

How to Make Healthy French Fries

First, peel the tubers and cut them into strips.

Then mix the resulting potato pieces with a small amount of vegetable oil.

By the way, you can add a little crushed garlic to the viscous liquid beforehand.

Try to stir the potatoes so that each piece is coated with a layer of oil.

Next step: take a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper and pour in the potato pieces.

Place the metal sheet with all its contents in the upper third of the oven preheated to 180 degrees. The baking time should be 20-25 minutes.

The result is perfect French fries: healthy (since there is little oil), delicious, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
