Oven fried sweet potato fries

A delicious (and healthy) accompaniment to veggie burgers or mussels.  Adapted from Simply Recipes.


Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes, or 3 large
1/4 c olive oil
2 T brown sugar
1 T salt
2 T of any of the following spices: chili powder, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, cajun seasoning etc.

Instructions

1) Preheat oven to 230 C
2) Peel the sweet potatoes (optional), and cut off the ends.
3) Cut the potatoes into wedges or disks - the smaller the chunks, the crispier the fries will be (and the faster they will cook).
4) In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with oil, salt, sugar, and spices - make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
5) Spread the potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer - bake for 15 minutes, turn over all of the pieces, and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are browned and crispy.
