Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Made a nice filling dinner the other night. 4 dishes, 4 recipes and this is the first.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
2 Medium Sized Sweet Potatoes (cut into sticks)
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbps Paprika
1 Tbps Dry Basil
1 Tbps Dry Oregano
1 Tbps Dry Parsley
(I used a few other herbs into the mix, but this should suffice. I gotta keep some secrets. :-P)
Preheat oven 400˚F
Combine basil, oregano, parsley, Rosemary in a small bowl and mix.
Place sweet potato sticks in a large zip-lock bag or in a large bowl. Drizzle in olive oil and herb mix in the bag and mix coating the sticks evenly. If using a bowl toss the sticks with your hand or some tongs.
Place the sticks on a baking sheet and bake for 30 min. About half way through flip the fries over to give them even cooking.
Then serve. I used a brown sandwich bag. I cut down along the 4 corners about inch after where that little bump on the front it. Fold the flaps inward creating a barrier for the bag to keep the outer layer from getting any oil residue.
Enjoy!
Oh my - I absolutely love sweet potato fries. These look fantastic! I haven't made any in a while. I will have to give these a try very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing the other 3 recipes you made!
ReplyDeleteThese sound awesome! I'll be trying these soon!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh we love sweet potatoes!!! It's a known fact. They are good however they come. If they come like this, we'd love some ketchup on the side.
ReplyDeleteJen: Thanks. Three dishes are coming up in the next couple of days. =)
ReplyDelete5 Star Foodie: Have fun making them!
Duo Dishes: Gotta have my ketchup too. I was going to make a little dip to go with this too, but didn't have time.
These look like they turned out very nicely! This is my first time on your site, I'm so glad I found you!
ReplyDeleteJoie de vivre: They were delish. Thanks for visit. I hope you'll visit often. I've got tons to share. =)
ReplyDeleteI love sweet potato fries. The local BBQ place serves them up and they are addicting!
ReplyDeletealice: They are very addicting. There's this place close to my home, everytime I walk past the place I see someone at the outdoor patio with a bag full of them. I just to reach over and snatch 'em sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSweet potato fries are a weakness of mine. I love how yours are sliced thicker than the typical thin ones many places serve. I like the idea of the herb mix you used as well. Will definitely try these.
ReplyDeleteBread and Jam: Thanks. Enjoyy the herb mix.
ReplyDeleteWow, they look good, and baked I assume healthy for you, It could be the start of a new regulary addition to my diet,
ReplyDeleteSweet potato fries are the best! I've never made them at home. These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteoyster culture: It is much healthier and delicious.
ReplyDeleteReeni: Thanks.
Jenn,
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I've never been a fan of sweet potatoes but it's probably since I've never had them like this.
Thanks for sharing,
Eric
eric: Give these a try. You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome, Jenn! So far, we've found only one place nearby that serves sweet potato fries so now, when I have a craving, I can make them myself!
ReplyDeleteTangled Noodle: No need to drive out and it'll save you a couple bucks too!
