I normally don't eat sweet potato or like sweet potato dishes, but yesterday one of my English students came by the house to work on some homework and he gave me a bag full of sweet potatoes! I took this as a chance to try and make something that would appeal to me. Now, I love everything potato and will eat potatoes in any form possible. French fries are great, but I also know that sweet potato fries are a healthier alternative. I never really liked sweet potato fries in restaurants, but I figured if I have control over how I season them, maybe they'd turn into something appetizing. The result? They're addictive!! Next up: Sweet Potato Pie :)
Sweet Potato Fries
*Note: I love garam masala, but I unfortunately don't have the spice, so I kind of just toss in the individual spices that it consists of. I forgot the cumin though, and added turmeric instead. I also didn't use any salt or as some recipes suggest, sugar.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
olive oil
ground cinnamon
ground cloves
ground cardamom
ground coriander
ground ginger
ground bayleaf
black pepper
turmeric
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice sweet potatoes into fry slices.
- In a bowl, toss slices with olive oil and spices until coated evenly.
- Spread evenly in a baking sheet, evenly spaced and bake for 30-40 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, flip each fry over and put baking sheet back in oven.
