Sweet Potato Fries

Walter and I fix sweet potato fries at least once a week. We absolutely love them! They're easy and good for you. What more could you ask for in a side dish.

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium/large sweet potato (serves 2)
  • olive oil
  • salt
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potato in half and then length-wise into about 1/2 inch thick strips.
  3. Spread the fries out onto a baking sheet.
  4. Drizzle with a generous portion of olive oil.
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 min. then flip the fries, drizzle with more olive oil and place back in the oven for another 10-15 min.
  7. You will know they're done when they start to brown and are soft.
  8. You don't need cinnamon or sugar because the sweet potatoes have enough sweetness by themselves.

  1. I also enjoy cutting the sweet potato into discs and cooking the same way. Sometimes I vary the seasoning to go with what I am cooking (Jane's Crazy Salt is my most often-used).
