I love french fries. I especially love sweet potato fries. However, I have not had any fries in a long time (trying to eat a little more healthy). Today I decided that I need a little something on the side with my garden burger and there is nothing that goes better with a burger than fries. I had a sweet potato lying around and decided to try and make oven baked fries. I have baked sweet potatoes and regular potatoes whole many a times. My mom always made great oven fries-so I tried to recreate those with my sweet potato. First, I peeled the potato and then cut it into strips-trying to make them all equal. I dumped the sweet potato strips into a bowl and drizzled olive oil on top-making sure it spread evenly. Then I added some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder and mixed them all together. While all of that was going on my oven was preheating at 400 degrees. Place some foil on a baking sheet and spread the fries out evenly, then put them in the oven for 30-45 minutes. I like my french fries crisp on the outside-but soft on the inside. These sweet potato oven fries were delicious-I would make them again in a heart beat. They also were a perfect sweet compliment to my spicy jalapeno and cheddar garden burger.
