Oven-Baked Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

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!

Loaded Sweet Potato Skins

Let me ask you- is there anything sweet potato can’t do? This unassuming vegetable has become a clean eating superstar. The one healthy carb that most people opt for, because it’s healthier than it’s white potato counterparts. Tricky business, considering they’re sweeter than white spuds BUT- they’re lower in sugar, lower in carbs, have less calories and 400% of your daily vitamin A intake. They’re also very versatile, affordable and fun to work with. All veg qualities you look for. Am I right? Oh, and did I mention- this appetizer or quick dinner idea is total dynamite? Taste-wise, it will engulf you, too. 😉

Immediately after I graduated university, I started working for IBM & rented my first “solo” apartment in the heart of midtown Toronto.
