Love sweet potato fries? Me, too! Since I had that delicious treat for the first time back in 2010 in NYC, I’ve always preferred them as a side or a snack whenever available. I’m not a huge fan of fried food usually, and I like it healthy so since they are in season over here at the moment, I thought let’s give it a go and bake them in the oven. And the result was oh sooo good! This is yet another super easy recipe and just perfect for a snack or as a side dish.
Ingredients:
1 huge sweet potato or basically as many as you like or as many as your baking tray can hold 😉
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fleur de Sel or sea salt
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan). Meanwhile peel the sweet potato(es) and cut it into evenly long pieces. Line out your baking tray with parchment paper and spread the sweet potato pieces all over it. Drizzle some Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used a pastry brush to glaze all sweet potato pieces evenly with olive oil) over them and season your fries with salt. If you like the taste you can furthermore season them with freshly ground black pepper.
Cook the fries during 20mins – if finely cut they shouldn’t take longer than that.
Recommendation: Serve them with some BBQ sauce – that is just an unbeatable combination!
