Most often they are deep fried and covered in salt and gravy or cheese. Not good for our health or our waistlines.
Would you believe there are fries that are healthy and taste wonderful too?
They are fries made from one of the the "super" foods, Sweet Potatoes.
They are extremely easy to make and full of nutrients and fibre. Baking them in the oven and using olive oil makes them healthy choice.
My family prefers them over fast food fries.
You can stop pinching yourself now..you are not dreaming!
Spiced Sweet Potato Fries
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1 tsp each of chili powder, pumpkin pie spice and cumin
- 1/4 cup olive oil or olive oil/canola oil blend
Peel and slice potatoes into 1 inch strips.
In a large bowl combine oil and spices.
Add potatoes and toss well to coat .
Spread fries out on a large baking sheet and place in the oven.
Bake for 3o to 40 minutes until golden turning occasionally.
Place fries in a large bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Season to taste.
Cheers!
I like the new banner! Mmmm. Sweet potato fries! I completely agree with you - they kick regular potato fries butt! I told my family they wouldn't like them, so that I have more to myself. It's worked so far. Don't let the secret get out there.
