Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries

Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries

Don’t we all love French fries? Of course, we do but how often can we eat them, well at least without a bit of guilt?
 
 
So what if we don’t use potatoes and skip frying them? Now wait a minute, there are still yummy, crispy fries coming your way. They will be a bit sweeter than usual and a bit spicy too and so much healthier.
 
Spicy Sweet Potato Oven Fries are so beyond awesome, I think I’m addicted or in love or both. The addition of Sumac gives them a tangy bite, the crushed red pepper a kick of spice, the sea salt rounds out the team, and the baking keeps the centers creamy and the edges crispy.
 
Sumac: Sumacs are shrubs and small trees with fruits that form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs. The dried drupes of some species are ground to produce a tangy deep-red purple spice used in Middle Eastern cuisine to add a lemony tart taste to salads or meat.
 
 
Place the sweet potato in a bowl, add the oil and toss to coat. Add the chili, sumac and salt and toss to coat.
 
 
Place the potato in a single layer on 2 baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, turn and bake for a further 10-15 minutes or until crisp.
 
 
Now get ready to enjoy don’t forget the ketchup, Umami Savory Ketchup, or Thai Style Spicy Barbecue Ketchup.
