Baked Sweet Potato Fries
I never knew I liked sweet potatoes until a couple of years ago. I never had them growing up. Well, I take that back…the only kind I ever knew of were the ones with marshmallows at Thanksgiving time and those do not appeal to me at all! Yuck! But now, they are a staple! I love them when they are cooked right:)
Roasted sweet potatoes are my favorite. They are so flavorful! They taste like candy, but better for you! Sweet potatoes are loaded with Vitamin A, C, maganese, a great source of fiber, potassium, and iron! Plus, they are a fun bright orange color!
If you haven’t tried sweet potatoes, try these “fries.” They are good and good for you! Feel free to spice them up however you like. I like them with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary! YUM!!
PrintSweet Potato Fries
1 large sweet potato
Olive Oil cooking spray
Salt
Pepper
Fresh Rosemary
1. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into strips…to look like fries! Try to make them all the same size so they cook evenly.
2. Spray a baking sheet and put the potato fries on the sheet, spaced out.
3. Spray the fries lightly with the cooking spray.
4. Sprinkle with seasonings…salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Or use whatever spices you like. 5. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Make sure you turn the fries every ten minutes or so.
6. Let them cool briefly and dig in!

I love sweet potatoes but have only had sweet potato fries doused in honey dressing – yuck! I wonder if winter squash would work like this. I have an abundance of squash but no sweet potatoes right now. Sad! Thanks for posting the recipe! =)

I think squash would be tasty. Let me know if you try it!
Loooove me my sweet potato fries!
I was *just* thinking about making these today! Thanks for the how-to!
My son and I had these as a side for dinner, we do at least once a week!
Great idea for a perfect side…or in your case: dinner!

I make these and then stir some chopped tarragon into sour cream for a creamy but slightly sweet dipping sauce. It’s always a hit!
