If you have never tried sweet potatoes you are missing out. They are slightly sweet with a soft, squash-like texture when cooked. I love sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving with the brown sugar and butter or maple syrup and marshmallows, but sweet potatoes are delicious at anytime. They are also very good for you, full of Vitamin C and betacarotene. I have also used sweet potatoes in making quick breads and purees for different dishes, but one of our favorite ways of preparing sweet potatoes is baking them like oven fries. My husband loves sweet potato fries and he can be kind of picky sometimes. So, if you've never tried sweet potatoes or don't think you'll like them. Give them a try with this recipe.
Sweet Potato Fries
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in strips (I had to cut my potatoes in half and then into strips, they tend to be pretty big)
chili powder
salt
olive oil
Preheat oven to 450. Spread the sweet potato fries on the bottom of a 10x15" greased pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle chili powder and salt over the fries. Bake for 20-30 minutes to desired level of crispness. Turn fries over halfway through cooking.
