Baked Sweet-Potato Fries image

In this healthy redo of french fries, replacing russets with sweet potatoes amps up the vitamins -- and baking rather than frying reduces the fat but keeps the crunch.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil for parchment
2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), skins on, scrubbed and cut into 4-inch sticks, each 1/2 inch thick
3 large egg whites (a scant 1/2 cup)
Mediterranean Spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in the upper and middle positions. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and rub with oil.
  • Put sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover, and microwave 2 minutes. Stir gently, cover, and microwave 1 to 2 minutes more until pieces are pliable. Let rest 5 minutes covered; pour onto a platter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy, add spice mix, and whisk to blend. Working in batches, toss the sweet-potato pieces in the seasoned egg whites, letting the excess liquid drip back into the bowl. Place in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes, then flip pieces over with a spatula. Rotate baking sheets from front to back and from one rack to the other. Bake until dark golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

These fries are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I always have a few sweet potatoes in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them for.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but these fries were really good. The seasoning was perfect and they were nice and crispy.

These fries are so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I always make a double batch so I have leftovers.

These fries are a great healthy alternative to regular fries. They're still crispy and delicious, but they're much better for you.

I was surprised at how crispy these fries got in the oven. I usually have to fry sweet potato fries to get them crispy, but these were just as good.

These sweet potato fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the seasoning was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
