Baked sweet potato fries

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I make sweet potato fries a lot. Too much? Nahhhhhhh. Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamin A and are one of the best anti-aging foods. They're also amazing. I make them almost everyday, whether as a snack or to put them over a salad. If you want them to be crispy, cut them thin!

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato (or ten)

1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil (melted)

spice of choice (I like to use cinnamon or paprika)

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. 

2. Peel your sweet potato, and cut it up into fry-like shapes. The easiest way to do this is by cutting in half the long way, and then cutting each half into smaller pieces.

3. Toss the fries in the melted coconut oil, and coat with your spice.

4. Array on a baking sheet, but don't overcrowd them! This will prevent them from crisping.

5. Cook for 10 minutes, flip, then cook for another 10. 

6. Broil them for two minutes at the end to make them a little bit more crunchy ;)

7. Let them cool for just a minute to allow them to crisp a little more.

8. GET TO IT
