What a delicious alternative to traditional French Fries. I love to eat the left over cold.
6 medium sweet potatoes or yams
3/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
maple syrup (if you like)
preheat oven 425
Scrub potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and slice halves into steak fries (large fries) Place in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of olive oil and spices until well coated.
Place potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle excess oil and spices from bowl over potatoes, and roast for 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven, gently turn potatoes over with a spatula, drizzle with addional 1/2 cup olive oil if needed and return to oven. Roast for another 20 - 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, nicely browned and slightly crisp.
Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Can be dipped in maple syrup, but I like mine plain.
