Bacon and eggs, peanut butter and jelly, Caesar salad and fries: Though new to the ranks of classic food pairings, everyone’s favorite starch and salad combo has officially made the jump from fleeting TikTok trend to girl-dinner-bar-tab staple. And now, thanks to the fast-casual salad restaurant Sweetgreen, you can enjoy the combo (and so much more) on the go with zero guilt. Meet the Ripple Fry, Sweetgreen’s healthier take on your favorite fast-food side.
Sweetgreen’s ripple fries are made with just five simple ingredients you probably have sitting in your pantry: russet potatoes, avocado oil, sea salt, parsley and potato starch—the added crispy coating that gives each textured potato edge that iconic French fry crunch. According to Chef Chad Brauze, Head of Culinary at Sweetgreen, this simplicity is intentional, laddering up to the brand's philosophy of offering food freshness and transparency. “Creating the perfect French fry is both an art and a science,” he explains. “We know people love crispy, flavorful fries, so we set out to craft the best un-fried version possible.” Oh, did I mention they’re air fried (not deep fried) meaning no added seed oils or high levels of trans fats? “Ripple Fries deliver the perfect balance of crunch and flavor—great for dipping, snacking or pairing with any Sweetgreen order.”
