Easy Low-Fat Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Oven baked sweet potato pies

Easy Low-Fat Baked Sweet Potato Fries. If you're craving a high-fat and salty treat like fast food French fries, try this recipe for healthier baked sweet potato fries. Baked sweet potato fries are much lower in fat than a deep-fried version and are very quick to prepare. Kids will love these baked fries as well.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • dash cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt or seasoned salt

Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients until potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices.

Place potatoes on a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until done.

I really like to eat these plain, but you could serve with ketchup, a ranch dressing dip or barbecue sauce. Enjoy your baked sweet potato fries!

I have made baked sweet potato ""fries"" and wedges in the past, but I stumbled upon this recipe this Thanksgiving and although I was hesitant to use cumin (the smell), I truly believe it was what helped give them even more flavor! This is by far my favorite recipe for them and I'm back to review it because I'm making them for our Christmas eve dinner. Thank you!!
