10 Healthy Foods You Can Deep Fry

Lindsay Duncan

You never know when a craving might hit you throughout the day. Sometimes it’s at lunchtime when you wish you could munch on a cookie after your salad, or maybe it’s while you’re watching a movie and you could really go for a burger and fries. No matter what the occasion, we always need to leave a little room every once in a while for that special treat that will hit the spot. Next time you’re about to head to McDonald’s for fries, consider getting a little adventurous and trying out something like fried Peaches and ice cream, or maybe even zucchini fries. These dishes are definitely out of the ordinary, but who knows, it may be your next guilty pleasure.

1. Fried Peaches

Feeling uninspired about dessert? Try frying up some peaches and topping with a little ice cream.

If you can’t choose between pie and something deep fried – pick both! These apples will taste a little like apple pie and a bit like a danish. So good.
