Fries are something I've always loved. Especially those really salty fast food ones. But ever since I started eating healthily, I stopped going to all those fast food chains and stopped eating those oily fries and frankly, I don't crave them at all anymore. What I crave are oven roasted sweet potato fries. And here I present to you these show stopping Tandoori Masala Sweet Potato Wedges (which are essentially just thicker and not so symmetrical fries). I've been putting tandoori masala seasoning on everything lately ( hello Curry Oatmeal with Tandoori Masala Roasted Zucchini) so it was only a matter of time before I made sweet potato fries with these spices too.

These are really easy to make, you essentially just dust the chopped sweet potatoes with the spices and roast them in the oven for 40-50 minutes checking on them only once or twice and then they're done! What could be easier, right?

I'm actually making a similar version to this for my meal prep for work lunches for the next few days. I just dice the sweet potatoes into small pieces instead of slicing them into wedges and add them to my salads. So tasty!

Right after I finish this post I'm going to get my notebook and write down my meal plan for the rest of the week and also for next week later when I know my work shifts (would it kill them to plan the shifts at least two weeks ahead smh - I get really anxious when I don't know what my schedule is going to look like). Anyways, I'm trying really hard to finish this post first and then go plan out my meals. Procrastination and multitasking are my worst enemy tbh.

I really want to start planning my meals in advance again and generally think more about what I eat. I also want to roughly start counting calories. I know, I know - you shouldn't do that. But the thing is, I need to have a better understanding of the things I eat. I eat healthily. I don't eat processed food, I don't eat processed sugar, bad oil, sugary drinks, or even table salt. I'm really good at the "just eat healthy food" thing. What I'm really bad at is portion control.
