This is a quick, easy side packed with tons of nutrition and flavor. These oven-baked sweet potatoes are a great way to sneak some extra vitamins into your family (or yourself).
Here's what you need and how you do it
2 sweet potatoes (or yams)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel and slice sweet potatoes. Toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika to taste and mix. Spread evenly across a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, turn fries and bake another 10 minutes.
Also, try experimenting with other herbs and spices. We've seen these done with cumin, lime, cinnamon, rosemary, garlic and a whole host of other spectacular seasonings (but not all at once!)
Yum. We always do this with my hubby's secret BBQ rub. It is delish.

I'm in Charlottesville, VA today and had the best sweet potato fries. I can't get enough of them.

I've been making sweet potato steak fries this winter, with kosher salt and sweet mesquite seasoning. YUM

Oh, I love sweet potato fries. I found a frozen organic brand (not that the organic was what I was looking for) and they are as good as the ones at the restaurant we first sampled them at.
