Sweet Potato Fries

These fries pack a salty, sweet and spicy punch! No ketchup needed and a great way to transition into Fall! Serves 4

Happy Monday!


Fries fresh out of the oven, the smell was amazing!
Ingredients:
 2 medium sweet potatoes, rinsed and dried (skin on)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste (about a tsp each)
*for an optional added kick… ½ tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 450F
Cut potaoes into ¼ inch strips (any size is fine, just make sure they are evenly cut so they cook at the same rate) 
Place in a large bowl and toss with spices and oil
On a baking sheet (lined with foil), spread evenly
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring fries one time during baking
Remove once edges begin to brown
Allow the fries to cool for about 5 minutes, though this may be harder than you think :)

Enjoy!
