Louisiana’s beloved season of gluttony and over-indulgence comes at a curious time: Many of us are still reckoning with our own New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier when suddenly, sugary confections and warm boudin take over the office breakroom. How’s a person supposed to have her king cake and eat it too?
The answer (well, sort of): fried veggies. Technically packed with vitamins and nutrients, yes, but also battered and deep-fried to crispy perfection. We’ve rounded up our favorite fried veg from across the Capital City for those of us in search of a king cake alternative that makes us feel like we’re making good decisions in the season of “gras.”
