Just in time for Thanksgiving (if you’re feeling like changing up your sweet potato dish a bit) comes this recipe for baked sweet potato fries, with a hint of sweet and a hint of spice. Easy to prep, quick to bake, and loved by all. Seriously, everyone will love them.
Spicy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Ingredients
- 1-2 decent-sized sweet potatoes (look for some that are more long and narrow instead of short and squat)
- 1 generous glug of olive oil
- 1 tsp each:
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cinnamon
- Chipotle powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2 sticks, as long or short as you'd like them.
- Put the cut sweet potatoes into a bowl, drizzle the oil over the top, then add the spices.
- Toss or stir to coat, trying to get them all as evenly spiced as possible.
- Spread the fries evenly onto a baking sheet, trying to keep them in a single layer.
- Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until tender, turning them once about halfway through.
Couldn’t resist. Made them as soon as I saw the pics. Delish
Secret: I can’t get into sweet potato fries. I guess I just want the starchy, non-healthy indulgence that is Russet french fries. I must be the only person in America who has so far resisted the sweet potato fry, because I see them all over the place, but . . . nope. Can’t do it.
I like to mix things up every once in a while, but we do make them with regular potatoes too. We don’t necessarily make them because they’re healthier, I just like the flavor possibilities 🙂
