Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Mmmm...So healthy. You’re gonna love forever!

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes

2 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Seasonings: cayenne pepper, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Peel the potatoes if you want to. You’ll have to make your own decisions now about the best way to cut them; sweet potatoes are so varied in shape, there are no hard-and-fast rules. So, somehow you manage to cut them into about 1/2″ slices one way. Then cut 1/2″ slices the other way. The length is not so important, but I generally try to keep them about 2-3 inches long.

Toss all your little fry shapes with the oil and spread them out on a cookie sheet large enough so that they are in a single layer. If they are crowded on the pan they won’t get crispy. (Also, don’t use an insulated baking sheet if you can help it.)

Slip those bad boys into your hot oven for 10-15 minutes, until they are browned on the bottoms. Pull them out and flip them over, rearrange so they are all in a single layer again. Put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so until they are sizzling and brown.

Sprinkle your salt and seasonings of choice on them while they are still hot. Then eat them while they are still hot. 

TUPPS TIDBITS:  We actually sprinkled with salt and ALL the seasonings listed in the ingredients and they were super good!

Most of the ingredients are a cinch to find. If you are going to learn how to cook, you are going to learn it for real! Fun and easy! Coriander seed? What is it? Yes, we had to "Google" it.  In North America the stems and leaves of this annual herb plant is usually called cilantro! All parts of the plant are edible, but fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking. KEEPER RECIPE in our house!
