Baked Sweet Potato Fries

3 star rating
 

 

Sweet potatoes are micro-cooked then sliced, coated with a little olive oil and garlic powder, and baked in the oven to crisp them.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes/yams
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Pepper
  • Salt(if desired)
 
Method

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Cook just until soft enough to cut, (but not fully cooked) about 10 minutes. Cut potatoes into desired thickness FOR FRIES. Coat roasting pan (or pans) with nonstick cooking spray. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and seasonings in medium bowl. Spread out on roasting pan(s). Bake about 25 minutes, turning once to ensure even browning.

 

Notes: I usually serve with grilled or baked salmon (which I marinated in lower-sodium teriyaki sauce, plus orange juice and garlic) and a beet-onion salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

 

Number of Servings: 3 to 4
