How to Make Sweet Potato Fries

If you want something different than regular french fries, try this low-fat, healthy, and great tasting alternative! Sweet potato fries have a sweet, yet salty taste that instantly make them a family favorite. You'll never go back to 'fried' fries once you've tried the oven-baked version!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sweet potatoes
• Oven
• Baking sheet
• Baking foil
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Olive oil
• Non-stick spray (optional)
• Sea Salt (regular salt is ok)

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Place baking foil on your baking sheet, with some non-stick spray on it.

2. Cut the sweet potato(es) into either rounds or long strips, depending on your preference. Usually the strips cook faster, depending on how thick they are.

3. Place the cut up sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Pour olive oil (about 1/2 tbsp. per potato) over the fries, distributing evenly. Sprinkle sea salt over, as much as desired. (again, 1/2 tbsp. per potato is a good average)

4. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the edges get crispy (again to your taste). Take out, let cool, and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you wash off the sweet potatoes first
• You can use non-stick spray or butter spray instead of olive oil
