I’ll be honest, until a couple years ago; I wanted nothing to do with sweet potatoes. I know, I know. I’m a freak. I was a Southern Belle who did not enjoy a good sweet potato. {Shriek} {Gasp} But then there were these awesome looking fries. So, I decided to give them a go. And there you go, I enjoy them now! Pretty much only in the form of fry, but hey, it’s a healthy sort of fry! No oil, just good spices with a healthy side option. These are great with Barbecue Cups, My Tried and True Burgers, and more!
Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Reach For:
2 medium sweet potatoes (approx 1 lb total)
½ tsp salt
½ ground cumin
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp paprika
¼ tsp ground black pepper
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt (optional)
Ketchup (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters, then cut each piece in half lengthwise and widthwise. Place potatoes in a single layer in pan. Mix spices in separate small bowl. Conservatively spray potatoes with cooking spray and sprinkle spices over top. Bake 20-30 minutes until potatoes are tenderized, after turning once. Sprinkle with salt if desired and have ketchup available for dipping!
