Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes are delicious and so good for you! Baking them is a fast, easy, delicious way to prepare them!

Ingredients


  • Sweet potatoes. One large sweet potato is really enough for two people, with no leftovers. If you want a large serving person person and leftovers, go for two medium-large sweet potatoes. Two large sweet potatoes fits very tightly on a baking sheet.
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Optional: spices (cayenne, paprika, garlic, whatever you like)
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into similarly fry sized pieces so they will bake evenly. 
  2. Coat with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. Be careful not to over-season, you can always add more later if you need to.
  3. Evenly arrange on a non-stick baking sheet. If you overcrowd the fries, they wont get as crisp.
  4. Bake for 13 minutes on one side, then flip.
  5. Bake for 10 to 15 more minutes until crispy. 
  6. Enjoy!
