DealDash Cooks: Sweet Potato Fries
Sweet potato fries that are made in the oven taste great and are a lot healthier for you than regular fries. Luckily, they are easy to make as well.
Have you ever had sweet potato fries? I first tried them a few years ago, and I was hooked. When I learned how easy and quick they are to make at home they became a regular staple around our house. Here is a fast recipe, but of course you can add any other seasoning that you would like to them such as truffle oil, Himalayan salt, etc.
Ingredients:
- 1 large or 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 °F
- Peel your potato and cut into thick wedges
- Toss sweet potato wedges with oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the wedges out on a baking sheet that’s been lightly sprayed with oil/Pam
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Turn, bake an additional 10 minutes or until browned
Wasn’t that simple? If you would like to get even more creative, you can make “fancy” ketchup to go with your own fries. If you would like to make a spicy ketchup you can add in a little Sirracha sauce, or you can even dip these in BBQ sauce or ranch dressing.
Sweet potatoes are extremely versatile, and are loved by a huge portion of the population. People love them for a good reason, sweet potatoes have vitamin A and they are delicious! What’s not to love?
If you would like your sweet potato fries to be crispier, cut them into thinner strips instead of the big wedges, and try cooking them on top of a baking rack instead of on a baking sheet.
