Although these sweet potato fries don’t achieve the crunchy texture a fried version would, they are perfectly seasoned and guilt free! I don’t usually cook savory foods with coconut oil, but the combination here is sweet and salty and a great accompaniment with any number of things!

Tips:

• Heating the sheet pans ahead of time helps to create more of a crust on the fries.

• If you don’t like the taste of coconut oil, olive oil would be a good sub.

Sweet Potato Fries

Serves 6 as a side

PREP 10 minutes

COOK 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled

3 tablespoons of coconut oil, melted

Salt and pepper

Cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees with two sheet pans in them.

2. Cut your sweet potatoes into thin fries. Try to make them uniform so each fry cooks at the same time.

3. Place the fries and coconut oil in a mixing bowl. Toss the potatoes until they are coated with the oil. Season with salt, freshly ground pepper and cinnamon. Toss again.

4. Once the pans are heated, remove them from the oven and divide the sweet potato fries amongst them, working quickly.

5. Place pans back in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes until the fries are golden brown and soft. Cooking time will depend on how thin you cut the potatoes.
