Common Questions
It’s best to enjoy your “fries” right away. However, they will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for one to two days. Add a sprinkle of lemon juice or lime juice to prevent oxidation and keep them fresh!
You can easily enjoy this recipe on its own as a nutritious snack or dessert. However, we love to use them to make loaded fruit fries with sugar-free chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles. Or, pair them with vanilla lime yogurt dip or any other dip you like best.
Yes! You might be able to achieve the crinkly look, but you can easily create stick shapes using a knife.
