The last month of living in Connecticut my friends and I discovered the most amazing sweet potato fries with a browned butter marshmallow glaze at a local restaurant {My recipe below}. We loved them so much we went back not once but twice so we could eat them again. It was to die for and I knew I needed to recreate it with my favorite Alexia Sweet Potato Fries. Let’s get real, I “couldn’t” just eat fries for lunch, so I decided to also make a fresh salad heaping with Alexia Crispy Onion Rings of course. They’re the perfect addition.

I love Alexia products because they are high quality, so versatile and made with all natural ingredients. I wouldn’t say I’m super conscious about eating 100% all natural, but I definitely try to where I can, and these products make it easy to do just that.

These onion rings just melt in your mouth. No one will ever guess that you didn’t spend hours making them from scratch! I could have easily eaten the whole bag. I’m no quitter! You might be wondering where you can purchase a bag of Alexia products yourself, I get mine at Walmart. I pretty much live at Walmart. I know some people don’t like to admit that, or act like they would never step foot in a Walmart, but I have no problem admitting that.

I don’t know about you but when I make a salad I go big! I add everything you can imagine, including a bit of fresh cilantro. I love including pretty much any vegetable. Jicama is my favorite in salads. It has a sweet nutty flavor with a crisp texture of an apple. Yum!

Here’s some step by step photos of my delicious, crunchy salad!

I also want to share my marshmallow glaze recipe too. It’s so delicious, it will knock your socks off! If you want your sauce to be a little sweeter try using less yogurt and/or butter.

That cinnamon-sugar is calling your name!

Cinnamon-Sugar Sweet Potato Fries with Browned Butter Marshmallow Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 Package Alexia Sweet Potato Fries
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 7oz jar marshmallow creme
• 1/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
• 4 Tbsp salted butter

Instructions

1. Thaw sweet potato fries for 10 minutes and place into a large bowl. Add cinnamon and sugar to bowl and toss sweet potato fries. Bake according to directions on the package.
2. While fries are baking, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl whisk together marshmallow creme, greek yogurt; set aside.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. The butter will begin to foam. Make sure you whisk consistently during this process. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown on the bottom of the saucepan; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown and give off a nutty aroma. Set aside to cool for a few minutes then whisk into the marshmallow creme until well combined.
4. Once the fries are done baking, drizzle the brown butter marshmallow glaze over the fries or use the glaze as a dip.

I’m going to have to figure out a way to include my Rosemary and Sea Salt Fries for lunch tomorrow! Be sure to follow Alexia Foods on Facebook and Pinterest
