Sweet potatoes are considered a "powerfood" for all their low calorie, low fat, nutrient packed aspects. These will not come out as crisp as baking potatoes. Turn them once or twice while baking for a crisper texture.I like to dip mine in honey mustard or horseradish mustard. Others like ranch dressing. Aioli dips work, too. (photo by Annie Mole)
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
2 sweet potatoes, cut into strips
olive oil to coat
Seasonings (See options below)
Coat cut potatoes with oil and seasonings.
Bake at 425 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, turning once or twice.
Seasonings:
I like a product called Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning which rightly claims to be great on everything.
Follow the link below to Kalyn's Kitchen blog for a combination of fennel, coriander, Aleppo pepper, and oregano.

Garlic salt, pepper, and cayenne
Make it a meal: Serve with Salmon Croquettes (see recipe under salmon)
Wine: Chardonnay, if you must, but a seasonal pumpkin beer tastes best here.

Oh I do love the idea of using Tony Chachere's seasoning on sweet potato fries, and I have it in my cupboard too! Thanks for the tip and for mentioning my post too.
