Sweet Potato Fries

Looking for a healthy alternative to the usual greasy, and deep fried french fry? Sweet Potato Fries are sweet, crispy, and delectable. Not only are they healthy but they are really easy to make. There are a number of seasoning combination's that you can use on Sweet Potato Fries and below is one of my personal favorites.

Sweet Potato Fries

Ingredients
(serves 2-4)

3 medium/large Sweet Potatoes
2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 TSP Black Pepper
1 TSP Cinnamon
1/4 TSP Pumpkin Spice
Pinch of Sea Salt

1. Preheat oven to 425-450 degrees.
2. Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut into medium-sized chunks and place in a medium-large bowl.
3. Sprinkle 2 TBSP EVOO, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice over the sweet potatoes. Toss several times making sure each potato chunk is covered with olive oil/salt/pepper/spice mix.
4. Cut parchment paper to cover the bottom of a cooking sheet. Spread sweet potatoes over the length of a cooking sheet making sure they do not touch or overlap. You may need two cooking sheets.
5. Sweet Potatoes will cook for approximately 30 minutes. You will need to flip them halfway through the process. I recommend checking them at the 15 minute mark and flipping them as they should have crisped on the bottom.  Let the sweet potatoes finish baking for another 10-15 minutes.
6. These can be served with a number of options. I tend to dip them into maple syrup myself but will also work with a sour cream/onion dip. Enjoy!!!
