These are a great alternative for regular fries and even my picky eater likes them! Sweet potatoes are awesome for you and are very filling.
Ingredients:
- Spray Olive Oil (preferably extra virgin)
- 1 large sweet potato (or however many you need to serve your group)
- Seasoning of choice (Some of my favorites are tequila lime seasoning with garlic powder, chili powder with chipptle pepper powder, and my husband's favorite... cinnamon). Just experiment with it. *I also sprinkle sea salt on all my sweet potato fries along with my seasoning of choice...except cinnamon.
Calories: approximately 180 calories per large sweet potato (1 large sweet potato feeds all 3 of us so approximately 60 calories per person)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425
Spray cookie sheet with olive oil and sprinkle your seasoning of choice on the pan.
Cut the potatoes into fry strips (video link below for the easiest way to do this).
Lay the cut potatoes in a single layer on the cookie sheet.
Spray cut potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle seasoning on them. Experiment with the amount of seasoning. Every seasoning is different. I usually just add seasoning until they look well covered and it is obvious they have seasoning on them...but be careful with the spicy ones like chili and chipotle powder which take less.
Bake on the lowest rack in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Turn them and then bake them another 10-15 minutes (or to desired crispiness). I usually prefer softer fries with just a little crisp on the outside or ends.
