Sweet potato fries are a healthy alternative to regular french fries. They also satisfy sweet cravings naturally, are strongly anti-inflammatory, low in sodium, a good source of dietary fiber and a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Manganese.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- fresh ground pepper
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Peel sweet potatoes and dry off with a paper towel (if the sweet potatoes are damp, the fries will be soggy). You can also leave the skin on if desired.
- Cut off the pointed end and then cut the sweet potato in half. Continue to cut into 1/4 or 1/2 inch wedges.
- Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. Fries should be glossy but not dripping in oil.
- Spread evenly on a baking sheet or stone. Make sure the pieces don’t touch (this helps them crisp up – otherwise they’ll be soggy).
- Bake for 15 minutes and then turn and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Enjoy!
