Sweet Potato Spicy Fries
Roasted vegetables are my favorite "I don't feel like cooking" dish. One night, I added a few spices and - voila! - my boring roasted sweet potatoes became sweet potato spicy fries.
Prep time: 5 min; Total time: 50 min
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato (or a few small ones)
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Slice sweet potato in wedges. Toss with olive oil and spices.
Lay all wedges flat on a cookie sheet, pizza pan, or other shallow oven-safe dish. Bake at 425 F for 40-50 min.
Halfway through cooking, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and flip them over so that both sides will be crispy.
Makes 2-3 servings.
Tips
If you like it hot, add more cayenne. Remember - you can always add more, but you can't remove it.
You might want to add a conservative amount of spices when you cook the fries and add more to taste
when they are finished cooking.
Try making your spicy fries with curry spices.
Use potatoes instead of sweet potatoes.
