Who doesn’t love french fries? They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and make for a perfect finger food. The tough part: is that they are usually doused with salt and submerged in not-so-healthy fats, which equal instant bloat and bulge.

On top of all that, the infamous matching condiment (ketchup) provides more sugar and salt, then the benefits of lycopene from the tomatoes.

After writing the “8 Tips to Beat Junk Food Cravings,” I was inspired to make a few “junk food” favorites that actually provide some nutritional value – like the Creamy Soft Serve with a Chocolate Magic Shell (Dairy-free) recipe.

Ingredients

  • large roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 Cup
    yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon
    garlic, chopped (roughly 2 big cloves)
  • Handful of basil leaves
  • green onion
  • 1/2 Teaspoon
    sea salt
  • 3 Teaspoons
    raw apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon
    olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium, ceramic pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onions and garlic until translucent.

  2. Add the salt, tomatoes, and apple cider vinegar and cook down until the juices evaporate (roughly 10-15 minutes). Note that the juices will release from the tomatoes first, and then reduce over time.

  3. Add cooked tomato mixture to a food processor with basil and green onion.

  4. Puree until smooth.

  5. Serve with the Skillet Fries chilled or room temperature.
