Putting a [healthier spin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-veggie-chips) on the not-so-healthy side, Elliott focuses on the seasoning to create something that is just as delicious as its fried version. By focusing on [turmeric, a superfood, and sesame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fryer-crispy-coating-mixes), the baked french fries will appeal to people who want to treat themselves without going overboard. Since the baked french fries are easy to make at home, cooks will appreciate putting their own spin on it too, which will in turn make the recipe even healthier if they so choose to. What makes this particular recipe great is the fact that the color of the turmeric tricks the eye into thinking it has been fried -- a great compromise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Healthy Fries:** Baked, healthy versions of traditionally fried french fries create a growing healthy fries trend. - **Superfood Seasonings:** The use of superfood seasonings, such as turmeric, in baked french fry recipes is a growing trend in healthy eating. - **Customizable Cooking:** The trend of making baked french fries at home allows for customization and experimentation with healthy ingredient options and seasonings. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Restaurants and food manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of healthy fries by offering baked, superfood-seasoned versions. - **Superfoods:** The growing popularity of superfood ingredients, such as turmeric, creates opportunities for food companies to develop new and innovative products. - **Kitchen Appliances:** The trend of making healthy fries at home has increased the demand for air fryers and other kitchen appliances that can create healthier versions of traditionally fried foods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enhanced Superfood Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fries.md) - [Colorful Root Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-vegetable-fries.md) - [Veggie-Packed Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-praegers-sensible-foods.md) - [Seed Oil-Free Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jesse-bens.md) - [Vibrant Superfood Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-sweet-potato-fries.md) - [Rippled Air-Fried Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-fries.md) - [Chromatic QSR Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-vegetable-fries.md) - [Low-Fat Ready-to-Bake Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinny-fries.md) - [Vegan Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-veggie-fries.md)
