Sweet potatoes are full of vitamin A and C and are a great source of fiber and potassium. These fries could make a tasty side dish or snack.
Ingredients:
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or olive oil
2 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. freshly-cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Carefully cut the potatoes into 1/4″ thin strips, or to your desired thickness and length. Place potatoes in a large bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients (oil and spices) until potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread out the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper or silicone baking sheet. (Try not to overcrowd the sheet, or have multiple layers of fries — you want them to be roasted, not steamed.)
Place in oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the fries once or twice during that time to cook evenly. (May take more or less time, depending on the size and thickness you cut the fries.) Remove once the edges slightly begin to brown and fries begin to crisp.
Helpful Tips:
Experiment with some of your favorite seasonings! This recipe is adaptable so you can make it perfect for you!
Try putting a cooling rack on your parchment lined pan and placing the potatoes on the rack. This allows air to circulate underneath the food and eliminate the need to turn the potatoes.
