Sweet Potato Fries

I don't consider myself to be a picky eater, but for some reason I've never been much of a potato fan. Yes, I do like the occasional plate of french fries and mashed potatoes (without lumps), but I'll pass on most potato dishes.

That is until I discovered sweet potatoes.

Last summer we started receiving sweet potatoes in our CSA share. I wasn't too sure what to do with them at first, but a little internet searching introduced me to baked sweet potato fries. I've been hooked ever since. Not only do they taste incredible, but they are a nutritional gold mine. There was a period of about a month where we made these every night. Now that we have a food processor, they are even easier to make.

Ingredients

Sweet Potato

1 TBSP oil

Cajun Seasoning*

Pinch of Cayenne

*Note: We've also used Penzey's Southwest seasoning, smoked paprika, salt,

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Peel potato and slice about 1/4 inch (or julienne slice if you have more patience/better knife skills that I do). We have also used the food processor to do this.

3. Place into a bowl, add oil and seasonings. Mix with wooden spoons.

4. Place on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. After about 15 minutes (or when the top starts to brown), flip and cook for another 10-15 minutes.

5. Enjoy with ketchup and/or BBQ sauce.
