by Fran Jakubowicz on Oct 10, 2023

Are you tired of feeling like you have to give up all your favorite snacks because of PCOS? Well, we've got good news for you – you can enjoy fries while still sticking to your PCOS-friendly diet! In this blog post, we're going to share a delicious and nutritious recipe for sweet potato fries that will have your taste buds dancing and your health in mind.

The PCOS-Friendly Twist

Sweet potatoes are a superstar when it comes to PCOS-friendly foods. They have a lower glycemic index than regular potatoes, which means they won't cause those blood sugar spikes that can wreak havoc on your hormones. Plus, they're loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that can help manage your PCOS symptoms.

Here's What You'll Need:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

The Easy Steps:

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help make your sweet potato fries perfectly crispy.

  2. Prepare the Fries: Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into fry-shaped pieces. Try to keep them as uniform as possible to ensure even cooking.

  3. Seasoning Time: In a bowl, toss your sweet potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. The spices not only add flavor but also bring out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.

  4. Bake Away: Spread your seasoned sweet potato fries evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure they're not too crowded; you want them to crisp up, not steam. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through.

  5. Enjoy the Crispiness: When your sweet potato fries are golden brown and crispy, take them out of the oven and let them cool slightly. Be patient; it's worth the wait!

Now, you have a plate of sweet potato fries that are not only PCOS-friendly but also downright delicious. These fries make for a satisfying snack that won't leave you feeling guilty.

Health Benefits Galore

These sweet potato fries aren't just a tasty snack; they're packed with benefits for women with PCOS:

  • Blood Sugar Control: The lower glycemic index of sweet potatoes helps keep blood sugar levels stable.
  • Rich in Fiber: Fiber aids digestion and can help manage weight, which is crucial for PCOS management.
  • Vitamins and Antioxidants: Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins like A and C, as well as antioxidants that support overall health.
