Healthy Oven Fries

Submitted by Eat Your Vegetables

"I like this recipe because it uses NO OIL, making it the most guilt-free french fries recipe that I know of. It has been scaled down for 1-2 people. Try adding ground red pepper if you like your fries spicy."

Very good. I have made these several times. I pretty much try to live a weight watchers lifestyle and these fit right in.

These are pretty good! Certainly not a "fry", but a good oven potato nonetheless. Be careful not to let the egg white get too thick anywhere; that happened for me and it made for a strange texture (like scrambled egg). Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2009.

With no oil you're destined to get something that isn't QUITE as amazing as a fry, but none the less these are delicious. Not as crunchy and a little limp, but this sure is a hell of a substitute.

My husband loves greasy fast food, but he requests these over frying pre-frozen fries -- every time!! I think I've made these 4-5 times already, and have learned that the foil is necessary on the cookie sheet for this recipe! :)Thanks so much for a healthy alternative that I can make for my husband!!
