Bonus Recipe: If you want to swap the fast food fries for sweet potato fries - it’s so easy! Grab 4 medium sized sweet potatoes, 3 tablespoons of olive oil (or avocado oil or oil of choice), 1/2 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F
Use 2 baking sheets, line with aluminum (easier clean up!)
Slice potatoes into 1/2 inch thick sticks, add them to a bowl and toss with oil, salt and pepper
Bake for 15-25 minutes, turn them over once, they are usually ready when the edges are slightly browned
