Raise your hand if you are a french fry addict.
*Raises hand*
Unfortunately, all the junk, chemicals, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavorings, fillers, preservatives....
You get the idea.
Anyway, no one in their right mind would eat a french fry nowadays. That is, unless you were brave, and decided to make them yourself...in a deep fryer, which makes me scared just thinking about it. Because deep fryers are scary. The only remedy?
To bake, mon petite chou!
If you were really interested in the healthiest, tastiest and most decadent way possible, you'd go one step further, and make Baked Sweet Potato fries.
So, for all of those french-fry addicts who need their crunchy fix, here's my recipe for Sweet potato fries~
Start by peeling one large sweet potato:
Cut it in half:
Cut each half into thirds lengthwise:
Chop each sweet potato slice into thick, even fries. If they are too small they might burn. We wouldn't want that.
Pop the fries down onto a well greased cookie sheet:
And here's where it gets fun! Grab you're cooking spray and just mist it over your sweet potatoes! That is, unless the only cooking spray you have, is made with 30+ ingredients. I used our grape seed oil spray from Whole Foods, but if that's not available, you can just use melted butter, coconut oil, or olive oil. And you'll need to mix them all up together so they are well coated in the oil.
Sprinkle generously with sea salt:
Throw the pan into the oven, (not literally, please) and bake at 400˚ for 30 minutes, or until they are brown, caramelized, and almost crispy.
And that's it! An extremely easy recipe that pairs great with homemade hamburgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, and the list goes on!
Happy fry munching,
