Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Toss all ingredients together until all the wedges are thoroughly coated.
  • Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until crisp, turning once.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with a deep orange color are best for fries, as they have a higher sugar content that caramelizes during baking.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some fries from being overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier.
  • Coat the potatoes in oil and spices: This will help them to brown and develop flavor.
  • Bake the fries at a high temperature: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the fries hot: Sweet potato fries are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Spiced-up sweet potato fries are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
