The Vegetable Swap For Keto-Friendly Fries
By AMANDA BRETZ
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and with a myriad of toppings, there’s a reason that fries are one of the most satisfying foods around. However, if you’re adhering to a keto diet, fries are off limits, but there’s another vegetable that can satisfy your cravings without cheating on your diet.
For a low-carb French fry alternative, rutabagas are a perfect option. Rutabagas are a great swap for potatoes because the two have a similar consistency, but rutabagas lack the starchiness and added carbs that potatoes have.
Along with a similar consistency, when cooked, rutabagas have a buttery, savory flavor similar to that of a Yukon gold potato. So next time you have a hankering for French fries, go ahead and grab a rutabaga to indulge your craving.
