A Heart For Home: Healthy Sweet Potato Fries

Healthy Sweet Potato Fries

I've been meaning to get to these for awhile now, so this past week when Tim was working late, Emahry and I made and enjoyed these wonderful fries.

Sweet Potato Fries (Serves 1)

1 small sweet potato, cut in strips
1 tsp olive oil
salt, pepper, & paprika to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, toss sweet potato strips with oil & seasonings.
Place strips on baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, shaking or turning half way through.

This recipe works for me!

It Feels Like Chaos, January 27, 2009 3:26 PM: I love sweet potato fries, I've made them at home before but they get a little too mushy. I see in your directions to turn them half-way through cooking -- that could be my missing key step! I'm so trying that next time I make these!

Leigh, January 27, 2009 3:50 PM: Do your sweet potato fries come out crispy or soggy? I've made them a couple times, but they always come out soggy... :(
