Sweet Potato Fries

Last night for dinner we had turkey burgers, green beans and sweet potato fries.  My 22 month old ate most of them because they are so yummy.  I found the recipe at Our Best Bites.  I have made them several times and we have never had left overs.  I have not tried it with the sauce but I am sure that would be yummy too.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Honey-Lime Dip

Recipe by Our Best Bites

1 lb peeled sweet potatoes cut into 1/4″ match-sticks

2 T extra virgin olive oil

1/2 t cumin

1/2 t oregano

1/2 t coriander

1 t kosher salt

1 t parsley

1/8 tsp black pepper

*you want 1lb sweet potatoes after they are peeled, sliced, etc. If you weigh them at the store make sure you have a little more than a pound to allow for the peeling, and tossing of small pieces.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  In a small bowl combine cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, parsley, and pepper. 

Place sweet potatoes in a pile directly on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Use hands to toss until all pieces are well coated.  Sprinkle seasoning mixture on top and toss again with hands to coat. 

Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer so that pieces are not touching each other.  Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes.  Use a metal spatula to gently flip fries and then return pan to oven. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until fries are starting to lightly brown and crisp.  Remove pan from oven and cool 5 minutes.  Serve immediately.

6oz container plain, low-fat yogurt

1 Tbs fresh lime juice

1/4 t cumin

1/8 t oregano

1/2 t onion powder

1/2 t kosher salt

Mix all ingredients until combined.  Chill until ready to use.

And sorry that my camera cord is still missing.  I am sure one of my kids have put it in a very safe spot.  Hopefully there will be pictures soon!
