Sweet Potato Fries (Oven Baked)

I love sweet potato fries. I must admit that my first time making them wasn't successful, they came out mushy and burned:). Now, I can proudly say that I perfected the art of making oven baked potato fries thanks to all of the hit and miss trials. They are healthier than regular fries since they are oven baked, they are crispy and they taste wonderful. Best of all, you can serve them with almost everything.

What You'll Need:

1 large sweet potato
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cayenne pepper

What To Do:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Peel the potato, cut in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 1/4 inch strips. My secret: For extra crispiness, soak strips in hot water and some vineagar for 2-3 min.
  3. In a bowl, combine oil, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the potato strips and coat them throughly. If you soaked the potatoes, dry and pat them before coating.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on greased baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20 min, flipping frequently to crip evenly.

Enjoy!
