Recipe: Homemade Sweet Potato Fries

Recently, I made homemade sweet potato fries for the first time. My initial reaction—What on earth took me so long?! The fries were as delicious as I’d hoped and simple to make. I made little changes to two recipes (this & this) to create my own. If you’d like to try it yourself, you’ll need:

• 2 sweet potatoes
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper
• paprika
• cayenne pepper

Peel sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges. I found it easiest to cut them into quarters and then to cut each quarter in half. Pour olive oil and spices into a bowl & mix. Dip each wedge into the mixture, making sure to thoroughly coat each one. Place wedges onto a baking sheet. Bake on 400° for 30 minutes or until wedges are slightly browned & crisped.

Enjoy!
