Ingredients:
* 2 sweet potatoes (1 lb.)
* 2 tbsp. olive oil
* 1 tsp. sea salt
* 1 tsp. dried oregano
* 1 tsp. paprika
* ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
* ¼ tsp. cumin (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a non-stick baking sheet in the oven.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes. Cut into 3-inch long and 1/4-inch wide sticks. They should look like mini 2x4’s, uneven ends will burn.
3. Toss the potato sticks with the oil & spices.
4. Spread the sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Turn the sweet potato fries after 15 minutes and bake approximately 15 minutes more or until a light brown. Be careful when turning because the sticks will be soft
Tips for Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potato fries can be a little tricky in terms of getting them to turn out crispy.
* Be sure your baking sheet is not “over crowded” and that the sticks are spread out as much as possible. Use two baking sheets if necessary.
* Do not bake sweet potato fries with any other foods in the oven.
* *Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil (shiny side up) seems to turn out crispier fries. Using parchment paper or foil also prevents the fries from sticking as well.*
* After baking for 30 minutes, if the fries are not as crispy as you’d like, take them out of the oven and loosen with a spatula. Return to the oven and bake another 5 minutes.
