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!

Anonymous said...: 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!; January 27, 2009 at 3:26 PM
