Week 1 recipe:
Sweet Potato “Fries"
2 Large sweet potatoes
1 to 2 T Canola or Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Preheat oven to 375F. Wash
and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into long chunks,
like thick fries. Place in a large bowl. Mix in oil; salt and
pepper to taste, stirring well to coat. Dump onto a large cookie sheet,
using a spatula to scrape any extra oil out of the bowl and onto the
potatoes. Arrange in a single layer on the sheet. Place in the oven
for 15 minutes, checking often to ensure they don’t burn. Use a turner to
flip the fries at least once, so they get brown on a couple of sides. If
you have a convection oven, use the convection cook setting as it will speed up
the process and make them more “crispy.”
Remove, cool a little, and enjoy
right away. This recipe is easily doubled for “planned-overs” that are
great chopped in a variety of dishes.
Parsley sprinkled on the top is optional. :)
Serves: 4-6
