Healthy Loaded Fries
Servings: 4 small serves
So here we have it – my take on ‘heathy loaded fries’. A quick, easy, oh-so delicious snack or meal that the whole family will love.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter, ghee or olive oil
- 1.5 kg potato/s (and/or sweet potatoes)
- 1 tsp sea salt - or to taste
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 30 g flaked almonds (¼ cup)
- 4 spring onion/s -white part sliced
- 40 g parmesan cheese (¼ cup) grated
- 40 g feta cheese (¼ cup) crumbled
- 2 roma tomatoe/s -seeds removed and diced
- 1 avocado/s (large) mashed
- ½ bunch/s fresh coriander leaves -picked from stems
- 1 lime/s cut into wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 220℃/430℉ (fan-forced).
- In a large baking dish heat the ghee or oil for 5 minutes or until the fat is hot.
- Make sure to potatoes are scrubbed clean and cut into 'fries'.
- Add the potatoes to the baking tray and toss to coat in the hot fat. Add the salt, oregano and smoked paprika and toss well again.
- Try to make sure they are in a single layer so they crisp up nicely. If your baking tray is too small you can divide them across two baking trays.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until they are starting to crisp up.
- Meanwhile, slice the spring onions and chop the tomatoes. Grate the parmesan.
- Roughly mash the avocado in a small bowl with a good pinch of sea salt.
- Once the potatoes are ready, top with the almonds, spring onion, parmesan and feta and pop back in the oven for another 5-10minutes.
- Remove from the oven, scatter over the tomatoes, blobs of the mashed avocado, coriander and lime wedges
- Enjoy immediately.
Serve
- with your choice of simply prepared protein.
