Baked, Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

Mom will love these sweet potato fries, and you will too. They're delicious, nutritious and colorful.  You can cut them up while your chicken is baking or on the barbecue, or prepare earlier in the day, and let sit on counter, covered until ready to bake.  They take about 10 minutes to prepare and another 15 to bake.  Or if you love to grill, you can cook these over the grill along with the chicken.  They're good hot, but also great at room temp.

How's that for 100 options, and no excuses?

A Bountiful Kitchen
print recipe

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced and cut into long thin slices
olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1-2 tablespoons rosemary fresh or dried
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional

Place cut sweet potatoes on baking sheet.  Brush with olive oil.  Sprinkle with all dry ingredients.
Bake at 450 for about 15 minutes on upper third of oven.

Tips:
-If you like the potatoes to get a little browned and crispy, use the convection setting if available, or just switch to broil setting and place the pan on top rack for about 1 minute after initial cooking, watch closely, so your fries don't get too charred.
-If you are on a budget, and don't have the spices listed, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle a little oil over the top.  Bake as directed. Experiment with spices you may have in your kitchen.  Anything with garlic (garlic salt) works well too!
