Wheat Free Ginger-Lime Beet Fries
Beets get a serious glow-up here, roasted at high heat until their edges caramelize into something almost candy-like, with a savory-bright finish from fresh ginger, lime zest, and a hit of turmeric. The wedge shape means you get crispy, deeply colored edges and a tender, earthy center — basically everything you want from a fry, just with way more personality. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-reading required. Coconut oil helps the beets roast rather than steam, which is the key to getting that gorgeous caramelization instead of a soggy result. A final drizzle of fresh lime juice right before serving keeps everything bright and punchy, and the optional cilantro adds a pop of color that makes the whole platter look stunning. These are the kind of fries that disappear fast, whether you're serving them as a side dish or just snacking straight off the baking sheet.
