Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are easy to make and so much healthier than regular french fries. ONE sweet potato has the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, which is necessary for a strong immune system, good eyesight and beautiful skin.

Using cornstarch instead of flour makes this recipe gluten free.

Sweet Potato Fries

3 large sweet potatoes

3 TBS flour or cornstarch

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 TBS of extra virgin olive oil or organic expeller pressed canola oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 

Peel the skin from potatoes. Cut potatoes lengthwise into thin strips. Start by cutting potatoes in half so that the flat side prevents the potato from moving, which helps prevent YOU from cutting yourself! 

Place the fries into a large plastic zipper type bag or a large bowl. Sprinkle the flour/cornstarch and seasonings over the fries and mix well. The fries should be completely coated. Add the oil and toss until coated and no dry flour/cornstarch is visible. 

Arrange fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove sheet from oven and turn fries over using a spatula. Return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes or until fries have turned  a dark golden brown.

This recipe serves four people. A delicious dipping sauce would be some vegan mayo mixed with a little horseradish. Enjoy!
