Baked Sweet Potato Fries
This is one of my favorite recipes … easy to make, healthy and quick… Remember it’s important to eat 5 to 6 small meals per day and if you can find a way to cook and eat real food… Do it! Also when you’re trying to get healthy… remember to drink enough water. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water, and if you are trying to lose weight, add 8 ounces of water for each additional 25 lbs of weight you want to lose.
Get active… it’s all about calories in vs. calories out… so get moving… and eat real food!
Enjoy..
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
2lbs sweet potatoes, peeled
2-4 T toasted sesame oil
2 t ground cumin
2 t chili powder
1 t paprika
1 t salt
Lightly oil (or spray with oil) two non-stick cookie sheets and set aside. Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into “French fries” or pieces ½ in wide and 3-4 inches long. Transfer the cut sweet potato fries to the prepared cookie sheets, dividing them ecenly between the two sheets, and spread them to a single layer. For each cookie sheet: drizzle the sweet potatoes with ½ T toasted sesame oil, then sprinkle with 1 t ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt (to taste).
Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Remove the cookie sheets from the oven, stir the sweet potatoes and spread to a single layer again. Switch the placement of the cookie sheets on the racks of the oven and bake the sweet potatoes and additional 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.
