Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato Fries

Peel and Cut 2 into fry sized pieces. Put into a gallon sized Ziploc bag.

*Add:

2 TBS Brown Sugar (this caramelized the fries)

2 TBS Olive Oil

2 cloves of Fresh Garlic or 1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Freshly ground Pepper

Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes on a Pizza stone or grease cookie sheet. We cooked them for 30 and they were just starting to crisp up.

*This is what we added spice wise, in our cooking class she suggested Italian seasoning, jerk seasoning, or you could go the sweet way with cinnamon and nutmeg rather than savory. Be creative and I think you will like them regardless. 2 sweet potatoes (not yams, apparently Yams are pretty rare and about the size of two watermelons...who knew) would feed a family of 4 or 5 for a great side dish.

We made these with Fresh corn, which we cooked wrapped in parchment and microwaved for 2 minutes per ear. If you lightly butter it, you don't have to add more after it is cooked.
