French fries, when prepared in an air fryer, offer a healthier twist on a beloved classic. Originating from Belgium but widely popularized by French and American cuisines, these crispy potato strips are made by cutting fresh potatoes into thin slices and then air frying them with minimal oil. Air frying significantly reduces the fat content compared to deep frying, making this method a heart-friendlier choice. These fries are a source of carbohydrates and contain small amounts of fiber, especially if prepared with the skin left on. However, they should still be consumed in moderation as potatoes are a high glycemic food, which can impact blood sugar levels. Seasoned with herbs or light sea salt, they can be a satisfying treat without excessive calories or unhealthy fats. Pairing with a yogurt-based dip or fresh vegetables can enhance nutrition and balance the snack.
