SPICY BAKED SWEET POTATO "FRIES"



Spicy Baked Sweet Potato

This recipe is adapted from a weight loss websites newsletter. Posted for 2006 Zaar World Tour - Mexico

Provided by lauralie41

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and cut lengthwise into strips 1/3 inch on each side
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F With aluminum foil or parchment paper, line a cookie sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes with olive oil and seasonings. Mix well to evenly coat potatoes. Place potato strips on the foil or parchment lined cookie sheet and leave space between strips for even baking.
  • Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until potatoes become crispy. Turn strips every 5 to 7 minutes as needed. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with a deep orange color and firm texture are best for making fries.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Season the potatoes well: A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need.
  • Cook the fries in hot oil: This will help them crisp up quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will cause the fries to steam instead of fry.
  • Drain the fries on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
  • Serve the fries immediately: They are best when hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

These taco-spiced sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
