Lunch: Low-Carb French Fries

Ingredients

1 large swede (600g / 1.3 lb / 21.2 oz)
2 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil or other cooking oil
½ tsp paprika
dash freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp salt (I use pink Himalayan)
optional: ¼ tsp ground cloves
Note: Oils that have high smoke points are suitable for cooking (avocado oil, coconut oil, macadamia oil, red palm oil, lard, etc.). When looking for ingredients, try to get them in their most natural form (organic, without unnecessary additives).

Instructions

1.First, preheat the oven to 450 F / 225 C. Wash and peel the swede.
2.Cut them into spears about 1/4 inch / 1/2 cm wide (or even less for crisping them up). As I realised in my previous post, the wider you cut them, the more difficult it will be to make them crispy. Place the fries into a bowl and remove any excess water using a paper towel.
3.In a small bowl, mix the oil, paprika, salt, pepper and ground cloves (if used).
4.Pour the oil mixture over the fries evenly and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make sure the tray is not overcrowded and use two of them if needed. Cook for 25-35 minutes (it depends on how thick you cut them). Check the fries regularly and turn the baking tray a couple of times to make sure they are evenly cooked.
5.Remove from the oven and serve with meat and sugar-free ketchup or mayonnaise (try my home-made mayo). Enjoy hot and don't leave them for too long or they will get soggy.
