    Beets are a fantastic replacement for starchy potatoes. This healthy comfort food is packed with vitamins and minerals. Zero guilt here!

    Why are beets so good for you?

    Beets have many helpful plant compounds that reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage. Some of the other health benefits of beetroot include:

    • Increases Stamina -- Beetroot and its juice help your heart and lungs work better during exercise. 
    • Helps Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke -- Beets are rich in folate (vitamin B9) which helps cells grow and function. Folate plays a key role in controlling damage to blood vessels.
    • Lowers Blood Pressure -- Beets are naturally high in nitrates, which are turned into nitric oxide in the body.
    • Boosts Your Immune System -- Beets are high in fiber and promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut.

    Raw red beets cut into strips on a wooden cutting board

    Make sure when you cut the beets into strips they are somewhat similar in size so they bake up evenly. You don't want over-burnt fries, am I right?

    These beautiful Beet Fries are baked, not fried, and so simple to make!

    How to make the spicy aioli:

    Only two ingredients are required for this delicious, spicy aioli! Could not be any easier, and it's so tasty!

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat mayonnaise and sambal oelek.
    2. Serve on the side with the beet fries.

    Want more healthy fries? You gotta try my Crispy Baked Sriracha Sweet Potato Fries. They're crispy and addictive with a touch of heat from the Sriracha seasoning.

    Tips & Tricks

    • Make sure when you cut the beets into strips they are somewhat similar in size so they bake up evenly. You don't want over-burnt fries, am I right?
    • Leave space on the baking sheet. They should not be overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary!
    • Preheat your baking sheet. They will come out much crispier this way. (Little know fact!)
    • Toss them halfway into baking. Then the fries will get nice and brown on both sides!
    • These fries are baked and made from beets so they are not going to be as crispy as regular fries. But you can deep-fry them for extra crisp if you want!
    • Try air frying these beet fries. I think they would turn out just as crispy!
    • You can freeze the fries and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
