Sweet Potato Oven Fries

Serves 4 | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Total time: 35 minutes


Ingredients

3 large sweet potatoes

1 TB olive oil

1/2 tsp salt


Method

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash, dry, and slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise to make 8 wedges per potato.

  2. In a large bowl, mix olive oil and salt.

  3. Toss the wedges in the olive oil and salt. Arrange on a baking sheet and place in oven.

  4. After 15 minutes, turn potatoes. Bake for 15 more minutes.

  5. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.


Variation: Elise Bauer of “Simply Recipes” suggests adding a teaspoon of warm/sweet (think Chinese 5-spice powder or pumpkin pie spice) or spicy/savory (chipotle powder, cajun, or smoked paprika) spices to the olive oil/salt mixture. Use your imagination!
