Perfect Sweet Potato Fries
Perfect Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet, crunchy, perfect. These fries will tantalize your taste buds.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 4 lbs of sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup of canola oil
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • Salt and pepper
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400-425 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly grease with oil then set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Clean potato skin and then cut in half lengthwise. Try to get approximately 1/2-inch thick fries.

  4. Step 4

    Place sweet potato fries in a large mixing bowl. Combine dry ingredients together and then shake over fries evenly. Next add the wet ingredients. Toss until each fry is coated with spices and moisture.

  5. Step 5

    Spread fries in a single layer on baking sheet. You may need two baking sheets depending on the size of your fries and amount of potato!

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 30 to 35 minutes turning once to ensure even cooking. I usually change the oven setting to broil after about 27-30 minutes to make the fries more crispy. If you do this make sure you keep an eye on the fries so they do not dry out.

  7. Step 7

    Remove from oven and serve hot.

Tips & Warnings
  • Play with this recipe! The ideal combination is different for each person depending on your taste buds! You may want it spicier or sweeter.
  • Do not over do the chili powder! Use to taste!
