Sweet Potato Fries



We love sweet potato fries, and sweet potatoes grow extremely well in North Texas.  These fries are baked, thus a healthy delicious addition to a meal.

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato
2 Tbl flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)
2 Tbl olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper 

Preheat oven to 425 °F.  Wash sweet potato and dry thoroughly.  Do not peel.  Cut into 1/4" to 3/8" square fries, any length you wish.  Place in a Ziploc bag with flour and shake to coat.  Then place olive oil in a bowl and toss potato fries with oil until evenly coated.  Next sprinkle on the spices, and mix again.  Experiment, try different spices, there are so many possibilities.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place fries on cookie sheet.  Separate so they are not touching one another.  Place in preheated oven (425 °F) and set timer for 15 minutes.  Flip fries and bake another 10 - 15 minutes or until crisp.

Enjoy immediately.
