Sweet Potato Fries - if you haven't tried them, you should


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
