Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries...is there anything better?! Honestly! Cody and I first ate these at Rumbi Island Grill in Utah. I am sure that there are multiple ways to cook them, this one adds a little flavor. I am also going to try just olive oil and salt and pepper next time to catch more of just the sweet potato flavor. It was a fun way to mix up our meal, and the flavor is just wonderful!

From: Mom

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and washed

1 1/2 Tbs. olive oil

1 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. onion powder

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut sweet potato in half lengthwise(1), then in slices from top to bottom(2), then turn onto sides and cut into fry-like strips(3).

Combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt and onion powder in a large bowl. Toss cut strips in sauce.

Next, spread strips on cookie sheet in a thin layer. We ended up having to do 2 cookie sheets instead of one. 

Place sheets in oven and turn strips every 5 minutes. Remove from oven when at desired texture. We like ours a little crispier, this takes 20-30 minutes.
