Baked French Fries in Olive Oil offer a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried fries. Originating from French cuisine, this dish uses fresh potatoes sliced into strips, seasoned with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional spices like paprika or garlic powder, and then lightly coated in heart-healthy olive oil. The fries are baked until golden and crispy, yielding a satisfying texture without excessive fat. Olive oil is a source of monounsaturated fats, which can support heart health and reduce inflammation, while baking drastically limits the calorie and fat content compared to frying. Potatoes provide essential nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, especially if roasted with their skins intact. Though still a starchy food and relatively high in carbohydrates, choosing baked fries with olive oil provides more nutritional benefits and less guilt than the traditional fried alternative. Moderation is key to maintaining balance in any diet.
