Baked Sweet-Potato Fries image

In this healthy redo of french fries, replacing russets with sweet potatoes amps up the vitamins -- and baking rather than frying reduces the fat but keeps the crunch.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil for parchment
2 large sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds), skins on, scrubbed and cut into 4-inch sticks, each 1/2 inch thick
3 large egg whites (a scant 1/2 cup)
Mediterranean Spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in the upper and middle positions. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and rub with oil.
  • Put sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe container, cover, and microwave 2 minutes. Stir gently, cover, and microwave 1 to 2 minutes more until pieces are pliable. Let rest 5 minutes covered; pour onto a platter.
  • In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy, add spice mix, and whisk to blend. Working in batches, toss the sweet-potato pieces in the seasoned egg whites, letting the excess liquid drip back into the bowl. Place in a single layer on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes, then flip pieces over with a spatula. Rotate baking sheets from front to back and from one rack to the other. Bake until dark golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but these fries were surprisingly good. They had a nice balance of sweetness and saltiness.

I tried this recipe and the fries turned out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The seasoning was perfect, with the right amount of heat and flavor.
