Healthy Sweet Potato Fries
Some time in the last couple years sweet potato fries started showing up at restaurants all over North America and to my surprise I actually liked the healthy alternative much more than traditional French fries! Unfortunately they are typically fried at restaurants, but it doesn't mean you can't make a nice healthy baked alternative in the comfort of your own home!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb sweet potatoes
- Garlic powder
- Non-stick cooking spray or olive oil
Preparation:
- Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges; if you like thicker fries cut them thick, if you like them shoestring fries, cut them very thin.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly spray your sweet potato wedges with the non stick cooking spray, or lightly brush the fries with olive oil.
- Lay the sweet potato fries out evenly across your baking sheet.
- Bake the fries for 30-35 minutes or until a fork can be gently pushed through the sweet potato.
- Make sure to flip the sweet potato fries once while baking them.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with garlic powder!
