"Delicious sweet potato fries that are good for you!"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon oregano
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

directions

1. Combine all spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Wash potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Do not peel them.
3. Slice each potato into french-fry-like wedges (about 10 fries per potato, depending on the size of the potato). Toss fries in a large bowl with olive oil until well-coated, then toss with spice blend.
4. Spread fries evenly on a non-stick baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8 minutes. Turn fries over and bake an additional 7 minutes, or until tender. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fries. Make sure you don’t over-bake them, or they’ll be soggy.

My BH loved these. I personally thought they were okay. I supposed I prefer the sweet in sweet potato. He said these would be great with grilled burger & a garden salad. We will be doing these again. Thanks for posting.

This is an excellent recipe. I will be making this often. The spice mixture is savory with just a hint of occasional sweetness. Yum!
