    I did this with sweet potatoes and sprinkled splenda and cinnamon on them instead of traditional french fry spices. They were sweet and yummy!!

    Another thing I've discovered (and seriously, y'all are going to laugh at me, I know it! :tongue: ) is roasted broccoli. No, seriously! Toss broccoli spears with with olive oil and fresh minced garlic, salt and pepper, and roast on aluminum foil for 15 to 20 minutes at 425 degrees.

    I think it's as good as french fries.

    Ok, you can stop laughing now. :bigsmile:

    No laughing here! I love roasted broccoli! My husband and I roast EVERYTHING, just about. Even grape tomatoes taste good roasted with onions, sweet potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, green beans, or whatever you've got on hand.

    My sister found frozen sweet potatoes cut as fries at her supermarket. They, too, were to be baked and they were great! No reason we can't make them ourselves!

    It's not a dumb question!
    This is how I do it:

    Cut the veggies into similar-sized pieces (bite sized usually), put them in a bowl and add a few teaspoons (or tablespoons, depending on amount to roast) of olive oil. Add garlic powder and other seasonings as desired. Toss to coat. Spread in a single layer on a baking pan (like a cookie sheet with edges) and put in a 400 degree oven for 30-60 minutes (or more if desired) until vegetables are desired tenderness. Everything tastes so sweet this way!

    Thanks for asking, I'm not a cook either and all the lingo confuses me!
