Sweet Poe-tay-tah Fries

Sweet potatoes are an AMAZING source of nutrients! It is highly suggested you eat them once or twice a week. Personally, I like them...A LOT! And I hope you do too, and if you don't, well, I hope you learn to like them.

My favorite way to eat them is homemade Sweet Potato Fries, and I would love to share an awesome recipe with you so you can cook them right at home!

First, here's what ya need to grab:

A few sweet potatoes, 4 potatoes usually works for my family of six.

and 4T olive oil, 1/2t cumin, 1/2t oregano, 1/2t coriander, 1t salt, 1t parsley, and a pinch or two of fresh ground pepper

Now here's what you need to do

-Go preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

-Spray a flat cooking sheet with olive oil (my preferred way, but you can also use cooking spray).

-Cut the sweet potatoes into thin discs...like this next picture. Or you can cut them in whatever shape you want, if you cut them into discs, these are the fastest way to cook. And make sure all your potatoes are roughly the same size

*Note: The thicker your french fries, the less crispy they will be! so cut 'um thin!

-Next, mix the spices into the olive oil

-Stir the mixture in with the potatoes so they are all covered.

-Place the potatoes on the cooking sheet, pour any extra oil onto the pan

-Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, then flip fries over and return to oven for another 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

*Note, be sure to frequently check on your fries. Depending on how thick/thin you slice them, they may take more or less time, and trust me, burned fries are NO FUN to eat!
