Baked Sweet Potato Fries are a delicious dish made only with sweet potatoes and spices. They are crispy and covered in a vibrant spice mix.
Do you ever crave French fries? I sometimes do. I've been through an interesting evolution with fries. As a little kid I used to hate French fries If we went to a fast food restaurant, I would never eat the fries. Then as I got older I started to love the salty crunchy sticks. In high school I began to care more about myself and my health so I pretty much swore off fast food. When I started eating plant-based, I learned how oils and fried foods can affect your body so I avoid eating fries. But I LOVE sweet potatoes.
I usually bake them in rounds like this Japanese Sweet Potato recipe but I wanted to mix things up. I was thinking about fries and decided to create Baked Sweet Potato Fries. These fries give us the health benefits of sweet potatoes but without added oils from frying.
Don't worry though. These Baked Sweet Potato Fries are NOT devoid of taste. Instead, we cover them in a mix of savory spices that pair perfectly with the sweetness of the sweet potato. YUM.
No crazy ingredients here, just sweet potatoes and spices!
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2. Slice the sweet potato into matchsticks.
Step 3. In a large bowl, Toss the sweet potatoes with the spices and two tablespoons of water.
Step 4. Spread the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fries are slightly browned, stirring halfway through. Enjoy!
Lord, thank you for giving us the ability to taste. Thank you for our desire for food that keeps us healthy. Help us to choose the good foods and give us self control when faced with unhealthy cravings. Amen.
