Alexia Organic Oven Crinkles
Posted on April 15, 2008 by
My big “bad” food craving is french fries. Thankfully, they don’t always have to be a bad food. Alexia has taken the junk out of this junk food favorite with their Organic Oven Crinkles.
The fries crisp up nicely in the oven in just 20 minutes, and at 120 calories per serving make a great side dish or snack. I’ve tried the Onion & Garlic and Salt & Pepper flavors. The Onion & Garlic fries are good, but the Salt & Pepper fries are amazing.
And, the ingredients are all pronounceable:
Organic Potatoes, Organic Sunflower and/or Safflower Oil, Sea Salt, Organic Dehydrated Onion, Organic Concentrated Apple Juice, Organic Dehydrated Garlic, Organic Rice Flour, Organic Dehydrated Green Onion, Organic Dehydrated Parsley, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Organic White Pepper, Natural Flavors.
Meanwhile, a small order of fries from a major fast food chain has 340 calories and the ingredients list looks more like this:
Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (contains one or more of the following: soy, canola, cottonseed, partially hydrogenated soy and/or cottonseed), Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate (color protector), Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Dextrose
Which fries would you rather eat?
I like, too, that they’re called oven crinkles rather than fries.
My absolute favorite are the sweet potato fries! They also make some awesome onion rings too : ) . I can’t wait to try those onion & garlic crinkles!
Oh, those look real good! Yum! Woofs, Johann
Oh, I’ll have to try the sweet potato fries!
Not a big fan of “autolyzed yeast extract” so I won’t be buying their flavored varieties, but their sweet potato fries are divine!
