Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato Fries

It's no secret that one of my favorite seasons is fall, and fall never disappoints when it comes to food either.  One of my favorite fall foods is sweet potatoes!  So good and good for you.  In fact they are much better for you than regular potatoes.  Why?  Mostly due to their lower levels of sugar than regular potatoes.  They are much lower on the glycemic index (higher levels mean your blood sugar spikes much higher when you eat something) than regular potatoes and in addition great sources of fiber and Vitamin C.  I try to use them in our house as much as I can in place of regular potatoes and besides all that, in the fall you can buy them super cheap!  Now buying sweet potatoes and loading them up with butter and brown sugar isn't really gonna help you much in the health department so here is my Sweet Potato Fry Recipe:

1. Cut sweet potatoes into wedges or long fries.
2. Toss with a little bit of olive oil.
3. Place onto cookie sheet and spread into single layer
4. Sprinkle sweet potatoes with cinnamon (light dusting all over).
5. Sprinkle tiny amounts of cayenne pepper if you want a little bit of kick (a dab will do ya!)
6. Finish with a light dusting of kosher salt and place in oven at 375 degrees.
7. Bake for about 35-40 minutes (until tender) and serve.

Bon appetit!
