Who doesn't love french fries? I rarely meet a potato I don't like, and sweet potatoes and french fries are at the top of my potato love affair list. That means sweet potato fries are basically a match made in heaven. Unfortunately for me, deep frying a sweet potato is along the lines of calling strawberry ice cream a serving of fruit. That is why my recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Fries is so awesome!
You will need roughly 2 medium sweet potatoes for 4 people. You'll want to eat the whole batch yourself, but we are trying to be healthy here, so let's call it 4 servings. Each serving of this recipe is 1 Yellow 21 Day fix container and 1 tsp.
Start by slicing the sweet potatoes into a fry like shape (whatever that means to you as long as they are uniform). Put your potato pieces in a bowl of ice water and soak for one hour.
Drain and rinse the potatoes, pat dry and place in a gallon sized zip top bag with 1 TBSP Corn Starch and 1 TBSP All Purpose Seasoning. Shake until the potatoes are well coated by the corn starch mixtures.
Toss the Corn Starch coated potatoes with 4 tsp melted coconut oil. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Try to keep them from touching each other for the crispiest of fries. Clearly my baking sheet was too small...
Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Flip/stir/shake around and then return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and shove a few in your mouth when no one is looking.
Let me know if you try these! I'd love to hear how you liked them and if you sprinkled them with anything other than All Purpose Seasoning (a little cinnamon and sugar perhaps?). These are also great leftover smashed in a quesadilla with a little chicken and black beans!
I served mine along side Crockpot Pulled Pork and a simple cole slaw salad.
