Have You Ever Had Or Made Sweet Potato Fries?

I've made them and love them. Cut the raw sweet potato into "fry" shape, drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, toss in a big bowl to coat them all slightly. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake on cookie sheet. You can then serve them with honey as a dipping sauce. (Just watch that you don't go TOO crazy with the oil....or the honey..or you'll undo the calorie loss you get from avoiding deep-friend regular taters.)

awwwww.

Yep, cut them into fries, or wedges or whatever. Mix paprika, cumin, and chilli powder with some olive oil and coat the sweet potatoes. Bake until... well, as crispy as they'll get. They don't get as crispy as white potatoes. Then drizzle with a little honey and dip in mayo (if you are that way inclined... as I am.)

You just have to make sure they are dry before you sprinkle them. I always fail at that and end up with mushy fries.

Yes!! I also drizzle mine with olive oil, but then I sprinkle them with salt and pepper and bake them in 450 degree oven for about 20 - 25 minutes depending on how thick they are. I don't use any dipping sauce because they are wonderful fresh out of the oven!

I've made them several times. We toss the wedges in olive oil and apices. You can do sea salt, chili powder, pepper, etc.

Yes, I make them in the oven too but I don't seasoned them at all. No salt or spices (cinnamon is not alowed in my house) needed; my husband and I love their natural flavor.

Edited to add that I do drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the wedges.

(Serving Size: 5oz. of squash cut into fries, calories: 65, fat: 0g, sodium: 6mg, carbs: 16.5, fiber: 3g, sugars: 3g, protein: 1.5g)

Ingredients:
1/2 butternut squash
kosher salt

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and de-seed your butternut squash. If you're unfamiliar with handling these large items, you may have a little trouble at first. They're fairly easy to peel, but you'll need a sharp knife to cut them. Once your orange friend is peeled and sans seeds, slice it in half. Then cut it up into french fry shapes. We like to use a crinkle cutter to make authentic looking crinkle cut fries, but they'll work any way you slice 'em. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Cover lightly with kosher salt (regular salt works, too, but we prefer kosher salt). Place tray in your pre-heated oven and bake for 40 minutes or so, flipping halfway through baking process. Fries are done when they are starting to brown on the edges and get crispy.

Serve with ketchup, or however else you enjoy fries or sweet potato fries!

To alliana07 - Would this work if you make them smaller instead of the wedges?

Yes, yum! I bake them with cumin, chili powder, and black pepper.

I am looking for a recipe for them but wondering if you can bake them instead of frying. Also, what do you sprinkle on them Thanks in advance..

I cut them into fry shapes, place them single layer on a baking sheet, spray a little (only a little) cooking spray on top, season them to taste and broil them in the oven for about 8 mins or until brown and crispy. YUM!

I make them; I wouldn't buy them from a bag. They are so simple! Sometimes I sprinkle just salt/pepper to taste. If I want them spicy, I do cumin, chili powder and garlic powder. If you want spicy and sweet try adding cinnamon as well. Yummy

Cut them, sprinkle them with mixed herbs such as herbs de provence, ginger, or curry powder, plus cracked black pepper and a little salt, bake at 350.
