food: baked white sweet potato fries

a couple of months ago i was watching cook yourself thin on the lifetime channel. i learned that if you have bake sweet potato fries that it has less calories than regular french fries. so of course i was curious and decided to give it a shot. instead of using the regular sweet potato fries, i used the white ones intead since it bakes better than the others. i'm pretty sure you will love it too. so here's the recipe so you can try it at home and share it w/ your family. there are different flavors that you could put on it. some people make it sweet or spicy or just plain.

ingredients:

• 2 or 3 white sweet potatoes (cut 1/2 in. thick)


• 2 tbsp of olive oil


• 3 tsp of salt


• 2 tsp of black pepper


• 2 tsp of paprika

directions:

1. preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C)


2. in a large bowl or plastic bag you can mix all of the ingredients together. shake the plastic bag or mix the large bowl whichever you prefer. make sure all of the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. spread the fries out in single layers on a large baking sheet.


3. bake for 30 minutes or wait til it gets brown and crispy. i just left mine in the oven for that long w/o flipping it. you are more than welcome to flip it every 10 minutes. serve hot.

well, i hoped that you enjoyed that recipe. now, if you want it to be sweet, substitute sugar or cinnamon with the paprika, as for spicy? substitute it w/ cayenne pepper. you are more than welcome to modifying the ingredients. so feel free to leave me a comment if you would like to let me know what you did w/ your recipe. thanks. =)
