Get ready to make the best, crispy gourmet-feel sweet potato fries at home! Sweet potatoes are high up on my list of necessary “weekly staples”. Not the want category, but the “NEED” level one. I can’t sing enough praises to this healthier cousin of white spuds for helping this girl curb her carby, sweet cravings. If you can believe it; I used to hate on sweet potatoes without actually having truly tried them. WHO knew that slicing and dicing them into cubes OR fries and adding extra virgin olive oil, pink salt, pepper, PLUS my secret spice mix (deets in this recipe!) could be such a game changer. But it is. Try these!
